wildflowers
Hi everyone, i will be moving soon with my mum and she absolutely loves wildflowers, she has so many ideas for things she wants in the garden which is no problem but id love to surprise her with some wildflowers, my problem is its an odd type garden its all patio and stones, i have added a photo, its rented so i really dont want to cause any damage digging or anything, im good with diy so building something isnt an issue, does anyone have any ideas on what i could do please? Ps sorry if this is in the wrong category:)

Why not try some raised beds on what looks like the gravel area on your picture. or you could direct sow into the two brick planters I can see just beyond the bench. At this time of year, wildflowers are beginning to set seed and the show will not be quite as dramatic as earlier on but you could always try buying ready grown wild flowers at the local garden centre. I was recommended a wild flower seed mix by another poster and I bought some online - its called Nature's Haven and comes mixed with its own granular compost so you just prepare the seed bed and scatter. I'm going to be sowing mine next month for an early show next year.
