Just a wild thought (pun intended) but have you thoughts about wildflower seeds? It would be super cheap and you'd get a mix of annuals and perennials. We have a larger patch we used them on, and used a mix of BeeBombs and other annual seeds, which worked great for us and provide great variety ideal for bees, butterflies and other bugs. There's all shapes and sizes of flowers which work for various pollinators over the spring, summer and early autumn. Then in winter, just leave all the foliage in place that they can use as shelter. Apart from the removal of the main dead growth in early spring, and some deadheading over the summer to encourage new flowers, it's super easy maintenance too. Just an idea
Yeah we did sow some wild flower seeds last year in a little disused area. There is greenery starting to appear there now so hopefully we get some results from that. Thanks though.
