Wildflower Turf Ltd is the leading supplier of Wildflower Turf products in the UK. We produce a range of innovative wildflower products that are bio diverse and low maintenance. The ‘back to nature’ philosophy has growing momentum in the landscape world and in both private and public spaces there is more emphasis on creating natural and wildlife friendly planting.
