Dear All,
dose anyone have any thoughts on how to cultivate wild plants in one's own
garden. Is their any web site to advise on this.

Many garden plants *are* wild plants - if not here, then in another
country ;-)

I guess you mean specifically UK wild plants.

Basically, cultivate them as you would any other plant - find out what
conditions they like and provide them. There's no overriding rule - some
plants like dry sunny spots, some like moist places in the shade, some
are happy competing with grass, some need a bit of help to hold their
own. Even the ones that will compete with grass are happy being grown in
a border, so there's no necessity to go down the 'wildflower meadow'
route unless you want to. Field geranium, red campion, scabious are just
3 of the ones that would look perfectly at home in a flower border.

www.allgowild.com has a 'gardeners manual' section which describes a few
wild plant (those that like living in meadows) with some information on
growing conditions.
