Professionals across the built environment are increasingly being asked to provide resilient and adaptive urban landscapes .

Visitor attractions , stately homes , and gardens as well as large private landowners looking for that instant wow at entrances and gateways , or a way to reduce maintenance costs as well as supplementing biodiversity ; look increasingly for landscape lead solutions to maximise benefit for the property and for local wildlife .
Pictorial Meadows™ Perennial Seed Mixes Pictorial Meadows™ has a range of eight different perennial seed mixes . Each is designed around a colour theme or tailored to a specific site requirement . Pictorial Meadows™ perennial mixes have at least 23 different species within each mix . They are very carefully formulated to include the species diversity within a m ² and do not contain any grasses . In year one while the perennials are establishing a small selection of annual species are included in the mixes to add some colour and interest to the display . From year two onwards , the perennials will fill the space and become more established .
