Now is actually the time to plant a wild flower garden if you want to help bees and butterflies. This is what you need to do: - The wildflowers you use largely depend on your soil conditions, personal preference, and if you have a colour scheme in mind. - Wildflowers will establish best if planted in the autumn as small plug plants. - For a natural look, arrange these in groups across the lawn and take out a core of soil using a trowel. - Make holes about 15cm (6in) deep and 5cm (1.9in) in diameter. - Drop a handful of compost into the bottom of the hole to help plugs establish quickly. - Water and spread leaf mould around each plug to help it grow without competition.
