The benefits of a species-rich lawn
A useful lawn, a flowering patch or a little of both. Lindum’s Species Rich and Wildflower Turf offer different ways to bring seasonal variety into a garden. We use Lindum products and start with how you want to enjoy the space.
The benefits of a species-rich lawn
Make the layout feel intentional
A clear edge, a maintained path or a relationship with a seating area gives looser planting a purposeful place. A flowering margin around a central lawn or a small island visible from the house can be enough. Everyday use, flowering and ongoing care should be considered together.
Plan the ground and aftercare
We assess sunlight, drainage, soil and existing vegetation before recommending a product. Preparation and delivery must fit the laying plan, with good ground contact and thorough watering. Living turf should not wait in a stack while preparation is unfinished.
Keep the new turf from drying out while roots establish. Cutting, clearing the cut material and monitoring weeds remain part of the care plan. Agree a product-specific routine: a flowering area needs different treatment from a regularly mown lawn.
How we used it at RHS Malvern
We used Lindum Wildflower Turf in St Godwald’s Retreat, our garden for Primrose Hospice & Family Support Centre at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival in 2025. Designed by Marc Harbourne-Bessant and built by F.B & Sons, the garden included a wildflower glade as a place to pause and reflect.
The show-garden photographs below record the planting in 2025, including other plants alongside the turf. The wildflower turf is no longer visible in St Godwald’s Retreat today.
