Pictorial Meadows - Pictorial Meadows Seed Brochure

Pictorial Meadows originated from a long and productive partnership between the University of Sheffield and The Green Estate Community Interest Company.

A seed of an idea, initially researched by Professor Nigel Dunnett, has been nurtured and extensively tested by the Green Estate. This collaboration between landscape designers, greenspace

managers, ecologists and horticulturalists has led to an exciting new era of naturalistic, sustainable, and designed approaches to landscape planting.

Both the vibrant colour themed annual range and the biodiverse rich perennial range have taken their inspiration from nature but have used careful planting design to ensure an especially high

visual impact. Incorporating more than 500 different species of wildflowers, Pictorial Meadow mixes are full of British native species but are also enhanced with carefully selected wildflowers from

locations around the world with varying climatic conditions. This careful design and researching of plants aim to offer a wide range of solutions that are engaging, adaptive and resilient with an especially long flowering season that benefits both people and wildlife. These nature-based solutions have proven ideally suited to our gardens, parks and urban environments helping to deliver maximum benefits with relatively minimal resources.
