About the species mix
Achieve your UKHab Lowland Calcareous Grassland (g2a) goals with our specialised seed mix, designed for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) projects.
Lowland calcareous grasslands are a unique and valuable habitat, particularly within the UK. The grasslands are renowned for their high biodiversity, with a wide variety of plant species.
This seed mix is meticulously formulated using key UKHab indicator species, ensuring compliance and a thriving, biodiverse habitat.
We use high quality, UK provenance seed, guaranteeing excellent germination and robust growth.
About Meadowscape Pro™
Meadowscape Pro™, also known as ‘Meadow in a bag’, is a scientifically engineering pre-seeded growing medium designed to establish thriving new wildflower habitats.
The product offers superior germination and establishment rates compared to traditional wildflower seeding methods. You will experience a significantly faster time to full establishment – typically 3-12 months depending on the season on installation. This is a substantial improvement over 3-5 years often required for traditional seeding methods.
