How to Grow a Container Meadow
Do you want to attract more pollinators and support your local wildlife? Think you don't have room for a meadow? We have the answer for you!
A container meadow can provide much needed food and shelter for pollinators as well as a beautiful little display for you to look at. The best thing about a container meadow is you can have your own wildlife haven on a windowsill, patio, courtyard or front step. If you have room you can even try different mixes in multiple pots for a really varied display. A container could be a traditional flowerpot, an old bath, a chimney pot, even an old tyre - the choice is yours.
