Laurence Edwards explains why wildflower meadows beat long grass. Chirk Castle planted a couple of acres with plants that flower at different times, keeping pollinators fed all year instead of just once.

So this is the difference between leaving your grass to grow long and planting a beautiful wildflower meadow. Chirk Castle have done this perfectly. They've got a couple of acres of the most glorious wildflower meadow here. Lots of different plants all flowering at different times throughout the year to give lots of different pollinator species Some nectar and pollen and to keep them going. Really good work, Chirk Castle.
