Harrowden - Laying Meadowmat wildflower turf.

Harrowden is pleased to be able to support Groundsfest for the second year. We will be focussing on BNG solutions. Harrowden began as four separate turf businesses serving different parts of the country. Now we’re a national horticultural grower specialising in turf, wildflower turf, sedum and topsoil. We’re also a one-stop shop for retail and professional contractors alike and a national distributor for all things horticultural. At Groundsfest we will be showcasing some of our core products – Premium Turf, varieties of Meadowmat wildflower turf (we have eight), Enviromat Sedum in a lightweight roofing kit, as groundcover and an extensive roof application. We plan to have specialists on turf, sedum and wildflower turf on our stand during the show, so we look forward to talking all things turf, wildflower turf, sedum and everything in-between. We have a great range of products for landscape and green roof applications, and we can also talk bespoke mixes as well as standard products.

Harrowden - Planting for pollinators

Our countryside has suffered from a dramatic reduction in wildflowers which has had a knock-on effect for insects, birds and pollinators. But with 183 different wildflowers available on our website you can make a difference. Available as ‘ready to go mats’, bulbs, plugs, plants or seeds you can easily mix ’n’ match, add to your garden or begin a brand new wildflower project. The benefits come in all shapes and sizes. More colour, more pollinators, more birds, more variety, more height and depth and of course, as annuals or perennials; flowers or grasses. #wildflowers #sustainabledevelopment #greenliving #gardening

Harrowden Insect Habitat Bug houses are man-made structures designed to mimic the natural habitats and nesting spots of beneficial insects. They serve as safe havens for various insect species, offering shelter, protection from predators, and a place to lay eggs.

Enviromat Sedum Flat Roof Kit Green Roofing is becoming more and more mainstream. Architects, garden designers, property developers and householders are working to improve eco-efficiency and to combat the effects of climate change. There are a plethora of benefits associated with a green or sedum roof, not least that it creates a real talking point. Enviromat®’s green roof kit comes with everything you need to turn your standard, dull space into a delightful green roof, full of plants and flowers. Within the kit there are several components. First of all, is a root barrier to make sure the plants cannot damage your waterproofing. Next comes a layer of specially engineered drainage mat to protect against damage to the sedum roof and building. This is because green roof sedums dislike wet conditions. This matting ensures that excess water is wicked away from the roots, keeping your flat green roof secure and healthy. Last but by no means least is your Enviromat® sedum roof

Enviromat Pitched Roof Kit Each of our green roof kits, designed for pitched roofs, comes with the main ingredients that you need to transform your gently sloping roof into a true green sedum roof. Each kit contains a root barrier to protect your waterproofing from any potential root damage, as well as a living carpet of gorgeous hardy sedum plants. From the moment you unroll Enviromat® Sedum Matting your roof will be carpeted with vegetation. Every single one of the sedum mats we use in our Enviromat® sedum roof kits is seeded with up to 17 different types of sedum which have been nurtured outdoors in our nursery for at least 9 – 12 months.

Meadowmat Wildflower Seed Mixes Cottage Garden Meadowmat® creates flower beds and borders with the grace and charm of an old fashioned English garden but with a lot less work. Cottage Garden is mainly created using perennial plant species. These are plants that will grow back year after year, as long as they enjoy the conditions in your garden. So, look after your garden and match the wildflower turf to the soil, shade and water conditions you have. The mix also includes some annual and bi-annual flowering species. Some give a pop of colour while the perennials are blooming and some are there just because of their sheer beauty. However, not all of the flowers will appear every year but when they do, you’ll realise why Cottage Garden is such a good choice.

Screened Topsoil Our topsoil is of the highest quality, carefully produced, free draining and fertile. As leading UK turf suppliers, we know that topsoil is essential to a healthy lawn. Consequently, ours is classed as grade 1. Only 2.5% of UK soils can claim that. Our bulk bags are screened to 20mm. The range of smaller bags of Lawn Soil that we supply can be used to improve existing soil throughout your garden, but can also be used as a high-quality top dressing. On top of this, our topsoil can be used to brush into cracks to help retain moisture and prevent shrinkage. It will strengthen the overall health of your garden and improve the quality of your turf.
