WILD SEEDS AND GARDENING |
||||
|
Traditional garden plants are the wild flowers of other countries, or the varieties bred from them, and there are 80,000 or so available in Britain. Many are very poorly adapted to our climate. By contrast, our native flora consists of around 1400 mostly well adapted species. For this reason wild plants are mostly easy to grow, and wild gardening is made even easier if the plants are managed as communities rather than individuals.
In practice, this means laying out the garden with different plant communities chosen to suit the character of the garden. Each mixture is sown and managed as appropriate, targeting the management to favour the desired combination of species, but allowing nature to play its part in deciding, eventually, which individual or species should perish or survive.
