Location

Ardingly, Haywards Heath, West Sussex

In the last 100 years we have lost around three-quarters of our honey bee colonies. The situation is even worse for many species of bumble bee and butterfly.

One of the key factors in this decline is a lack of forage. Much of our countryside is dominated by wind-pollinated crops or ryegrass, and we have lost 97% of our ancient hay meadows.

But there are simple, cost- effective solutions that can increase the wildlife value of almost any piece of land, and not just for pollinators.

Specialist bee and butterfly seed mixes for parks and gardens,
road verges, amenity land and agricultural field margins

The buzz about us:

'...the wildflowers that have been planted on the verge at the top of College Road have given us much pleasure throughout the summer months. They have been such a delight...'

'Margaret and I were passing by the afore-mentioned flower verge in Ardingly only an hour ago, and it took our breath away! So, so beautiful.'

'Your wildflower verges have been wonderful...'

'Thank you so much for your outstanding work...'

Headed by Steve Alton, formerly of the Millennium Seed Bank, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, and Dr Karin Alton, honey bee research scientist at the University of Sussex, FlowerScapes can provide habitat creation and wildlife gardening solutions informed by the latest ecological research.

Private gardens, parks, road verges, school grounds - added together, these green spaces form a significant area of habitat. And managed correctly, they could be a major resource for wildlife - not just insects but the whole food chain that depends on them.

FlowerScapes - seed mixes for all situations; pollinator friendly, long flowering season, low maintenance, cost effective solutions tailored to your requirements

Because planting for wildlife isn't all nettles..
