#News. May 20th.
Sowing wildflower seeds in a large shallow plastic container filled with suitable compost from a DIY Store is one way of creating little portable gardens.
The roots of the plants mesh and when strong enough form a removable mat of flowers that can be placed on prepared sites in your garden...or neglected public spaces for all to enjoy.
Larger versions are possible with the use of chickenwire. My 8ft by 3ft proto-type sown a couple of years ago and left to grow in our own garden helped to instantly cover a nearbye eye-sore patch of ground neglected by the County Council. I just rolled it up and carried it on a wheelbarrow to the location. It's still there flowering away.
