A traditional meadow full of wild flowers is a rare sight today but
it is not too late to restore them and to create new ones. Charles
Flower is passionate about restoring the countryside. After the
appalling destruction of the 1970s and 1980s he pioneered practical
methods of wild flower restoration on his own farm, where he grows
wild flower seed crops and runs restoration workshops. We have been
through many painful years of seeing our meadows destroyed but
Charles Flower has proved that it is possible to plan for
diversity, harvest seed, propagate it and create new meadows,
woods, hedges and ponds so that wild flowers can be successfully
re-established not only in the countryside but also in our gardens,
thus ensuring a supply of nectar over a long period - from the
woodland primrose in March through to fleabane in the wet meadow in
September - that will entice back countless butterflies and other
insects. This book is full of practical detail amassed by someone
who has devoted all his energy to good management of the
countryside for over twenty years. It recounts the story of how he
has helped restore the flowers - and thus ensure the return of
wildlife - to numerous gardens, farms and estates, a story
documented by glorious photographs that cannot fail to inspire.
