THE TRANSFORMATIVE POTENTIAL OF A MEADOWS ’ EXPERTISE COLLABORATION
Sundance annual mix - Olympic Park , London
Pictorial Meadows™ were developed originally in partnership with The University of Sheffield and The Green Estate Community Interest Company , as a high value yet low maintenance alternative to mown grass and ornamental floral borders , both of which are resource heavy .
Grey to Green scheme – Castlegate , Sheffield
They are not only designed for improved environmental resilience , but to be especially attractive and valuable for pollinators and people .
Pictorial Meadows™ seeds and turf mixes comprise a diversity of over 100 varieties and 100 % flowers , which provides considerable climate resilience . The plants originate from a wide geographical area and whilst many are UK natives , the inclusion of wildflowers from diverse climatic conditions extends meadow resilience to increasingly extreme weather . We have seen our meadows thrive without irrigation in increasingly hot and dry summers . Having been tested in cooler damper
winters of Northern England , they also thrive across Scotland and as far north as Finland . Pictorial Meadows™ also offer a tailormade service , where a seed or turf mix can be created and adapted for a specific project .
A continuing relationship with the University ’ s Landscape department results in the integration of former students into the growing Green Estate team . This collaboration has enabled hybrid schemes such as the ‘ Stitch Planting ’ concept showcased as part of the Olympic Park design , and Sheffield ’ s ‘ Grey to Green ’ planted urban meadows , to be used commercially .
Our meadows consultancy service will ensure that your project receives the best solution and is successfully delivered , as well as the long-term management of the meadows . So , if you require assistance with planning a meadow or looking for innovative approaches to increasing biodiversity , our team of meadow specialists can assist with solutions for your project .
