Hi all.
I've taken on some work in a churchyard where they have a small
ammount of wild Thyme growing. Does anyone know how I can encourage it to
take to other areas of the church yard?, also apparently, they have a
mushroom called a Waxcap that appears around November time, and I would like
to encourage the spread of this too.

Hullo :-)

The wild thyme (and other wildflowers) are probably doing best in
relatively nutrient-poor areas where the grass is doing badly. The one
thing you should *not* do is add fertiliser or anything else intended to
improve/encourage the grass, as the grass will smother the thyme in no
time, as it were. Is the thyme in dry/sunny areas? If other places with
similar exposure have sparse grass, you could try rooting some cuttings
from healthy plants and transplanting them to these areas.
