Live Lesson: Autumn Meadow Sowing
Live Lesson: Autumn Meadow Sowing
Did you know that 80% of butterflies have declined since the 1970s with moth numbers falling 33% in that time? But we can help. Wildflower meadows are rich and diverse habitats that support a myriad of species and autumn is the best time to get started. Join us and our friends from Butterfly Conservation to learn how to sow a wildflower meadow this autumn to support your local butterflies and moths.
Lesson
Alice from Butterfly Conservation guides us through all the stages needed to create and maintain a wildlife meadow, including choosing a location, deciding what type of meadow you want, preparing the ground and sowing, and managing your meadow throughout the year.
Following the lesson, use our Action Plan to help you create your meadow.
