Bring more wildlife into your world

 Our British native wildflowers are grown in peat-free compost and available in either pots or as plug plant collections via mail order. Many are fantastic for attracting bees, butterflies and insects; ideal for planting by garden enthusiasts, schools, landscapers, conservationists or community groups.

 About us

 We are Steven and Lindsay Lister, a husband and wife team who are passionate about growing UK native Wildflowers.

Between us, we have a solid base in Horticulture; Steven studied at both Oaklands Horticultural College and Cannington Horticultural college, gaining Advanced certificates in Amenity Horticulture, whilst Lindsay studied at Bath university achieving a BSc Hons in Horticulture.

We then joined Notcutts Garden centres in Supervisory roles before moving into our separate career paths. Steven followed a Sales and Marketing route within the Horticultural world, whereas Lindsay worked in Research and Development most notably within the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH).

Moving swiftly on, to several years later and the valuable career experiences gained across the years has brought us to the challenge and love of owning our own nursery which has always been a long term plan. It is interesting times, environmentally but we firmly believe that wildflowers have a place in every garden however large or small.

If you are considering planting an area of your garden with wildflowers then do get in touch, by email or phone we are always happy to discuss your plans whatever your potential project may be.

Our ethos

 We grow Native wildflowers in peat free compost from UK sourced seed.

The majority of our seed we use to propagate our plants is hand harvested from our own stock plants otherwise if we need additional supplies, we source from registered UK seed suppliers.

All of our propagating is manual from seed sowing to transplanting to potting so we check each individual plant we grow.

Sometimes we cannot propagate from seed, so when we do need to buy small plants, bulbs or bare root stock, everything is sourced within the UK and then grown on peat free.

We use propagating polytunnels to start our seeds and seedlings, seedlings, however we not use heat in our tunnels to speed growth. The plants are moved outside once they are developed to continue growing in our natural environment.

If there is a need to feed any plants later in the growing season we ensure we use a balanced organic seaweed extract plant food.

For pest control, we find the biodiversity of our environment is the best solution. If however we do have an outbreak of pests we use an organic, non chemical spray, to be safe to the plants, the environment and the food chain.
