How to make a meadow or floral lawn at home

We’d love it if you copied Clifton Hill and helped out lots of bees and butterflies with all that pollen. We'd recommend buying your seeds from the Avon Wildlife Trust's excellent Grow Wilder project, as we did. They created a tailored mix for us, consisting of agrimony, betony, bladder campion, common knapweed, corky-fruited water-dropwort,  corn chamomile, corn marigold, corn poppy, corncockle, cornflower, crosswort, devil's bit scabious, dropwort, field scabious, greater knapweed, hedge bedstraw, kidney vetch, lady's bedstraw, meadow buttercup, meadowsweet, musk mallow, oxeye daisy, pepper saxifrage, ribwort plantain, rough hawkbit, salad burnet, selfheal, small scabious, wild marjoram, and yellow rattle.
