Really good advice at a plant hunters fair’ large plugs of yellow rattle combined with grasses are now established and will hopefully help with our wild flower meadow

I was disappointed with the way they were packaged and although you told me what plant we had, you didn't say which was which.

Really sorry you weren't completely happy - we've messaged you about replacements. We do write the varieties and number of each (so you can match them) on the inside of the box, to avoid plastic labels, but we appreciate your feedback about packaging, and we'll review our approach. Hope it won't put you off ordering again.

great wild flowers.

really good communication. the seller included a couple of extras due to the plants being really small. but the quality was good and they are all happily growing in my meadow. Thankyou.

An excellent speaker

An excellent speaker, Ed Cook has been twice to our local, Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust group to give talks, one about Wildflowers and one about Butterflies and the plants they depend on. His topics couldn't be more important as our natural environment disappears under tarmac and many of us noticed a dramatic drop in butterfly numbers last year.
Ed is an engaging and knowledgeable speaker and on both occasions his talks were accompanied by beautiful photographs and he brought lots of excellent wildflower plants that people were soon queuing to buy. Mine were planted according to Ed's instructions and are doing extremely well. I heartily recommend Ed both for his plants, his talks - good for gardening, conservation, wildlife and general interest groups - and his friendly and efficient organisation. Both talks and plants are very reasonably priced. We learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thanks Ed!

Meadowmakers built us a wonderful wildlife pond. Ed was knowledgeable, creative and went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied. The pond came in at a reasonable price and we would recommend Meadowmakers to anyone thinking of rewilding their garden.

Not all their plugs have huge rootballs

The 3 Viper's Bugloss, the 2 Jacob's Ladders and the 2 Veronica spicata had the 6" rootballs. The 3 Agrimony came individually wrapped in wet newspaper to help keep the compost together because their rootball did not fill out the large plug size. These can't be planted straight out, but I don't mind as I don't yet have space in the garden for them. So the 3 Agrimony have been potted up and placed on windowsill to give them more time to grow. And, thanks for the free one.

Absolutely fantastic plants

Absolutely fantastic plants! First came across them at a plant fair and the man running it was so knowledgeable and helpful. Took a card and then ordered from them online. Delivered in great condition. Very pleased with everything. Will be ordering again as the slugs also very much like the plants 🤣🫣

A great review, thanks. The only downside of gardening for wildlife, is the wildlife 🙂
Thankfully they don't seem to eat native plants as much as ornamental and veg. For the most part....

Pond dug and planted - superb!

Ed spent nine hours here digging a pond, lining it, planting and making good the site. He worked extremely hard and gave lots of really useful advice. For us, the whole experience was really pleasant since he had great interpersonal skills. Follow up sheet sent straight away by email. Really looking forward to watching our pond develop.

Excellent quality and service

The yellow rattle plugs look really healthy with 2 or 3 in each.
The service was efficient, and a really nice touch was to give me 2 extra, as I had not seen an online offer - thank you!

I first met Ed at the Newark Garden…

I first met Ed at the Newark Garden Show, where I chatted with him and browsed the plants on his stall, I asked if he gave talks to Gardening Clubs, which he said he did, so he was subsequently booked to give his talk on ‘Re-Wilding, making Habitats for Wildlife,’ which he duly delivered to our Club.
Ed has a most warm, and attractive personality and is a ‘natural’ at engaging with his audience and keeping them absorbed in his subject. His excellent and informative talk was much enjoyed by all present, with several members commenting on it being one of the best talks we’ve ever had. I have subsequently asked Ed if he has other talks in his repertoire, which he has, so I shall be booking him again in the very near future.
As someone who has, for many years, regularly researched and booked Speakers for our Club, I have no hesitation whatsoever in heartily recommending Ed, whose passion for, and knowledge of his subject, is obvious, along with his ability to engage with his audience, which is exceptional.
