Non profit wildflower venture; in the past year they have donated over 3000 wildflower plug plants to various projects in Lancashire and Yorkshire and hope to be able to help with projects in Cumbria too. We are only a small garden venture so cannot be sole suppliers for projects but we do work closely with the Heritage Field Community Meadow project, supplying them with flowers. To cover costs we are also trying to sell a few plants. Donations:sales currently = 3000:9!!![]()
