BNG Solutions:
When it comes to making a long-term commitment to improving biodiversity and maintaining wildflower and grassland spaces in a cost-effective way, our Enhance Wildflower Biodiversity range offers a streamlined and highly effective approach to acquiring BNG Units. We can work with you to optimise both time and finances by enhancing your existing grassland space rather than embarking on a new project.
Soil Types:
Your soil type profoundly impacts the habitat above ground. Whether you require an enhancer for high or low acidity, poor or good drainage, or compaction issues, we can craft a bespoke mix to suit your specific soil requirements.
Provenance:
While all our seeds are of UK provenance, we understand the importance of local sourcing. If your project demands seeds of more local provenance, we can incorporate species specific to your locality. We even offer the possibility of sourcing seeds from nearby target populations, ensuring the authenticity and adaptability of your mix.
Habitat:
Looking to create a specific habitat? Our team of experts can collaborate with you to include the correct species tailored to your target habitat. This may encompass local priority habitats specific to your area, ensuring ecological integrity and biodiversity enhancement.
Environmental Conditions:
Some sites face unique environmental challenges, such as floodplains, erosion, or upland sites. We leverage our expertise to develop mixes suitable for such conditions. In some cases, our mixes can even mitigate the impacts of flooding or drought, offering ESG solutions for challenging environments.

Blog: The Year of the Grasses: Why It’s Happening and How to Manage It
Meadows are a type of grassland habitat, so by definition they should contain a good proportion of grasses. Grasses are fundamental to the health of these habitats. Grasses play a vital role in offering structural support, texture, and ecological balance. They also support biodiversity, providing food and habitats for numerous species, including birds, insects and mammals. Grasses however in the right environment will naturally colonise and can overpower slower growing wildflowers.
If grasses become too dominant they will prevent the…
