Pictorial Meadows originated from a long and productive partnership between the University of Sheffield and The Green Estate Community Interest Company. A seed of an idea initially sown by Professor Nigel Dunnett has been nurtured and extensively tested by The Green Estate.
This collaboration between landscape designers, greenspace managers, ecologists and horticulturalists has led to an exciting new era of naturalistic, sustainable and designed approaches to landscape planting.
Inspired by nature, our Vibrant Annual Range and Biodiversity-Rich Perennial Range have used careful planting design to ensure an especially high visual impact.
Incorporating more than 500 different species of wildflowers, our seed mixes contain British native species enhanced with carefully selected wildflowers from locations around the world with varying climatic conditions.
This careful design and researching of plants offer a wide range of solutions that are engaging, adaptive and resilient, with an especially long flowering season that benefits both people and wildlife.
These nature-based solutions have proven ideally suited to gardens, parks and urban environments, helping to deliver maximum benefits with relatively minimal resources.
