The many and varied benefits of wildflowers and soilless turf with Wildflower Turf

Wildflower Turf founder James Hewetson Brown tells HortWeek editor Matthew Appleby about the soilless growing system that has transformed the concept of turf growing.He outlines all the ways to establish wildflowers and how they help to boost species diversity in our green spaces and the other functions they help deliver. These include health and well-being, low maintenance, soil stability, carbon sequestration, pollution (air and water) mitigation as well as the speed and reliability of wildflowers compared with trees.The role of native perennials for our wildlife in the UK is examined, as are the regulatory requirements wildflowers help fulfil, such as National Ecosystems Assessment, Biodiversity Net Gain, Sustainable Farming Incentive, Sustainable Drainage Systems and UK Biodiversity Action Plan.
