Hi

A word of advice wanted please.

I have just re-laid a lawn with turf and part of the area is a partly
created and partly natural bank. We have decided to allow the bank to go to
meadow for ease of mowing and also because we have added a 8ft sleeper
sticking out of the ground where we have covered it in bird feeders etc.

We have planted in seed trays, foxglove, poppy, ox eye daisy, cowslip,
primrose and other natural flowers that we plan to plant as plugs later in
the year.

One thing I want to also add is buttercup and the smaller daisy you see in
lawns and also another area towards the bottom of the garden we would like
to add nettles and doc.

The question is would we be breaking the any laws if we wereto find a spot
by the side of the road where nettles, daisy and buttercups grow and dig up
some of the plants to transplant into our bank and the patch at the bottom
of the garden to give it a head start.

Any advice welcome please.

Thanks
Steve

I found a website which might be helpful - www.meadowmania.co.uk which
includes notes of meadow planning and has seed mixtures with and
without grass.
No connection with them and haven't dealt with them
