Bee/Butterfly meadow

Hi all, Last Winter I sowed a ton of wildflower seed in our school wildlife garden after removing all the weeds but nothing has come up and the area is swamped with weeds again. Any suggestions?

    You may find that at least some of that is your wildflower mix. I have wildflowers, some people have weeds

    Weed infested land takes a while to clear and it's hard for tiny seedlings to beat the more robust ones.Sowing in pots and planting out after re-weeding works well if you have the time and facilites
