BOURNEMOUTH-BASED Eco Sustainable Solutions has joined forces with an award-winning turf business to expand its range of products. 

Joining forces with Harrowden Turf, Eco Sustainable Solutions will now expand its range of landscaping products to include several varieties of new Meadowmat Wildflower Turf. 

Wildflower lawns are part of a growing movement away from the traditional short-cut grass lawns previously typical of commercial and residential spaces across the UK. 

In comparison, a typical monoculture grass lawn has less to offer insects and animals in terms of habitat and food options.  

Wildflower lawns and meadows on the other hand are great for biodiversity providing bees, butterflies, and other important pollinators with food.  

On a single day in summer, one acre of wildflower meadow can contain three million flowers, producing 1kg of nectar sugar.  

That’s enough to support nearly 96,000 honeybees per day. Not only that, but wildflower lawns also help fight climate change, sequestering as much carbon as woodland. 

Connor Scott, sales manager at Eco Sustainable Solutions, said: “This wildflower turf has an incredible ability to retain colour and lushness, even in challenging conditions.  

“Not only this but it’s a naturally speedy way to create a wildlife-friendly patch in your garden.”
