One instant English meadow coming up, complete with lots of nectar for bees and butterflies. In fact, this packet of wildflower seeds, a UK native mix has been created to attract them. Enjoy spotting a wide range of flower surprises in your own little meadow.

Wildflower plants provide lots of things that insects need: food in the form of leaves, nectar and pollen, also shelter and places to breed. In return, insects pollinate the wildflowers, enabling them to develop seeds and spread to grow in other places.

The insects themselves are eaten by birds, bats, amphibians, reptiles and small mammals, all of whom contribute to the cycle of life. During winter when there is less food available, wildflower seeds can also be an important food source for birds and small mammals. Wildflowers can also be really helpful to keep soil healthy. When wildflowers become established and spread their roots, they stabilise the surrounding soil.
