PLEASE DO NOT scatter wild flowers seeds in the countryside. Firstly, this is very wasteful of expensive and precious seed. Secondly, whereas it is quite appropriate and beneficial to have a varied collection of wild flowers in the garden, it might not be appropriate to establish many of these species in the countryside far from their natural habitats.
All conservation seeding on a small or large scale outside the private garden should be done in close association with your county Naturalists' Trust or English Nature.
