« Back to Managing the meadow: early stages
Plantingnewplants
Besides the fritillaries and the orchids, we planted some other species in the dry meadow. These included the St John's Wort you can see in the background here, and some plants commonly found in calcareous meadows such as Field Scabious, Salad Burnet, Goatsbeard, Bulbous Buttercup and Lady's Bedstraw, which I am planting here. I got these from Naturescape Plants, where I also got the plants used in the pond.
