Why the Wildflower Meadow?

  • Our Health.

    A Wildflower Meadow is good for you.

    Simply looking at an Ox Eye Daisy for 6 seconds reduces blood pressure and the stress hormone, cortisol. 6 Seconds!

    Breathing in the air in Wildflower Meadows and Forests contains essential oils called phytoncides, boosting the production of cells in our body associated with immune system health and cancer prevention.

  • Species Protection.

    A Wildflower Meadow is good for them.

    Over 700 species of plants put down their roots in Wild Flower meadows. The plants in a typical meadow can support nearly 1,400 species of invertebrates - that’s an army of bugs, beetles, flies, spiders, grasshoppers, crickets, butterflies and moths. And these will in turn feed the higher vertebrates – from field mice, bats and hedgehogs through to seed-eating birds and ultimately birds of prey.

  • Carbon Sequestration.

    A Wildflower Meadow is good for us.

    One acre of a healthy Wildfllower Meadow sequesters as much as 5 times the CO2 as one acre of Pasture Grass.

    One acre of healthy Wildflower Meadow sequesters as much as 3 times the CO2 as one acre of Forest.

    One acre of degraded grassland will actually emit nearly the same amount of carbon as captured by a Wildflower Meadow.
