Meadowmakers Ed Cook is now in his fourth year of trading, and brings together his passion for wildflowers, meadow-making and rewilding to gardeners and conservationists alike. The case for incorporating native wildflowers has been highlighted over the years by Sir David Attenborough and Monty Don, to name but two. Ed brings plug plants to the fairs and encourages you to add colour, insect interest and diversity into your gardens.
These statistics are really heartbreaking: 97% Of native wildflowers lost since 1960, 72% of native butterflies have seen declines since 2005, 99% of wildflower meadows lost since 1980, and native bee populations have halved in less than 30 years. We all need to do our bit.
