Sowing wildflowers around a pond edge provides an natural looking and attractive habitat which is good for wildlife. Sowing wildflowers around a pond edge also helps to provide a buffer zone around the pond which contributes to improving water quality. The mix can also be used in other areas which have poor drainage and therefore remain damp for prolonged periods of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e*Please Note: The contents of our
