Biodiversity and low maintenance all rolled into one
Q Lawns are featuring Meadowmat wild flower matting on stand S1702 at Ecobuild. Meadowmat has been developed to help re-introduce wild flowers into gardens and public spaces thus creating wildlife habitat and providing a valuable source of nectar for declining species such as butterflies and bees. It consists of 34 species of native grasses and flowering plants established on to a matting system that is simply unrolled on to prepared ground and kept watered until it roots in. Meadowmat can be installed at any time of year and overcomes all of the difficulties associated with establishing a wild flower meadow from seed such as poor germination rates, inaccurate seeding rates, bird damage or weed infestation. Being a low maintenance landscaping material, means that once established, the cost of upkeep for a Meadowmat wild flower meadow, is far lower than for lawns or bedding plants. A carefully considered design incorporating Meadowmat, mown paths, seating and vistas makes a fascinating and engaging feature in any public space and is ideal as an outdoor classroom.For more information about Meadowmat, please visit stand S1702 at Ecobuild, or look online at www.meadowmat.com and www.meadowmat.blogspot.com
