Wildflower Turf’s new Enhance range creates a happy habitat for butterflies and bees

As the UK faces a significant decline in its bee and butterfly populations, Wildflower Turf Ltd has provided an innovative solution to help reverse the ecological crisis.

The new Enhance range has been designed to provide a lifeline for pollinators.

It includes species-specific Enhance Bees and Enhance Butterflies products to combat Britain’s dwindling natural habitats and maximize nectar and pollen availability.

James Hewetson-Brown, Managing Director of Wildflower Turf Ltd, said: “The Enhance range was created with the specific goal of supporting and increasing pollinator numbers. By incorporating a diverse mix of native wildflowers, we can provide a sustainable habitat that offers food and shelter for bees and butterflies throughout the growing season and even the majority of the year, if left uncut over the winter months.”

Pollinators are essential to the UK’s biodiversity and agriculture. They play a crucial role in pollinating crops and wild plants, which in turn supports food production and the health of natural ecosystems.

However, according to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, the UK has seen a dramatic decline in its bee populations over the last century, with two species now extinct and several others facing significant threats. Intensive farming, habitat loss, and pesticide use have contributed to a 97% reduction in the UK’s wildflower meadows since the 1930s, drastically reducing the habitats available for bees and other pollinators.

Wildflower Turf Ltd’s Enhance range provides a practical and sustainable solution to help combat the decline in pollinators across Britain.

The Enhance range is easy to establish and low maintenance, making it a perfect choice for urban planners, developers, and private landowners looking to make a positive environmental impact. The product can be used in gardens and parks to roadside verges and corporate landscapes, creating vibrant spaces that contribute to the recovery of pollinator populations.

James adds: “Our Enhance range is more than just a product; it’s part of a broader effort to restore biodiversity and secure the future of our ecosystems.

“By choosing Enhance, our customers are directly contributing to the survival of pollinators and the overall health of our environment.”
