I havnt really decided how much to let go to the wild, we have a big old
lilac tree and a old stone wall and I thought that wild flowers would
look good, also my husband moans every time he mows the lawn under the
tree :-)

I understand why you asked whether plugs would be an idea! It looks
like you've got a good lawn there and the lilac tree next to the stone
wall sounds just like a corner of my front garden! You could give the
'effect' of what you want to do with plugs indeed if you don't want to
mess up your lawn for a meadow. I have used verbena bonariensis against
our wall, scabiosa here and there, pimpernella saxifraga, thistles and
marguerites (lots). I do nothing to it except enjoy and use as cut
flowers in summer. You'll have to 'group' them or they'll get mowed by
your husband!
