Wild Flower Garden
 
Have you ever wanted a wild flower garden? A wild flower garden is not just a garden that has gone wild, in fact it is quite the opposite. A garden that has become wild normally looks a bit of a muddle, whereas a wild flower has to have a closely controlled environment.

Garden flowers have been hardened, so to speak. They have been cultivated and crossed so that they can put up with not being taken care of all that well by the average gardener who does not know much about gardening, although there are some very delicate garden plants too. However, wild flowers have never had this treatment, they grow only where the circumstances are right or they do not grow at all. It is practically impossible to grow wild flowers where they would not naturally grow.

This is why many people's attempts at creating a wild flower garden flop so miserably - they have expected the wild flowers to 'just grow wild' without having made the correct environment. Therefore, if you want to create such a flower garden, you will first have to determine what kind of flowers you want to grow.

Most people create the easiest wildflower garden is Peter Cooper, meadow and combined barrier Hedgerow. Therefore, you must first create and run suitable natural hedgerows, growing their holdings. Then the rest of the soil plant coarse grass. Can have a border brick pond, but at least one edge must be muddy in wet mud-just the edge of a shallow pond.
