100 wildflower meadows to mark Coronation

English Heritage’s plans to establish 100 wildflower meadows at historic sites to celebrate the King’s coronation have been welcomed by native wildflower seed supplier Bradford Green. “Our ancient meadows drastically declined after WWII. We’ve lost 97% over 70 years, which has had a hugely detrimental impact on the wildlife these habitats sustain,” said Bethan Pugh, Director. She’s calling for the restoration of the country’s lost flower-rich grasslands to enhance biodiversity and improve soil health.
