Mini Meadows 2011

Last year we gave away 15,000 free packs of wildflower seed! This year our Mini Meadow campaign is even bigger!

We are giving away 20,000 chances to grow your own Mini Meadow for free!

Over the last 50 years Britain has lost around 98% of its wildflower meadows but with your help we can create new spaces for the wonderful animals, birds and insects that rely on this threatened habitat for their survival.

How to Get Involved

We are giving away Mini Meadow seed packs which will provide all you need to share your garden with nature. There are 20,000 special packs up for grabs, each one containing enough seed to create a 1m² Mini Meadow, wherever you have space. You could sprinkle it on a bare patch of soil, or use to transform an area of your lawn. You could even create a Mini Meadow in a window box or a hanging basket. The special seed packs are available to Nottinghamshire residents from us at support@nottswt.co.uk (one pack per household).

You can also sign up for our Mini Meadows e-Newsletter, see panel to right.

Flower Power! What’s Inside the Mini Meadow Seed Packs?

Each seed pack contains a mix of wildflower seeds specially selected to help attract a wide range of wildlife including bees, butterflies and birds. Once grown, your Mini Meadow will be a beautiful and colourful addition to your garden.
