About Us - Wildflower Turf

“The UK’s most prominent Wildflower Meadow experts…”

Our History

The Hewetson-Brown family have been farming in Hampshire for three generations and in 1982 set up Coronet Turf to diversify into turf production pioneering a soil-less growing system which has transformed the concept of turf growing.

In 2003 managing partner James Hewetson-Brown started Wildflower Turf, a subsidiary enterprise, and developed the growing of Wildflower Turf to meet the demand for readymade wildflower meadows without the establishment problems associated with traditional seeding methods. Wildflower Turf has continued to expand successfully as a business over the years, fine tuning its seed mixes and techniques to produce a unique and high quality product.

Whether it be a traditional wildflower meadow, green roof, or river bank Wildflower Turf has established itself firmly as a significant contributor to the environment through its ecological benefits, aesthetic qualities and ability to absorb carbon.

Wildflower Turf is currently working with a number of organisations to help create wildlife friendly environments for species such as bees, butterflies, voles and slow worms, to name a few. These organisations include Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, The Environment Agency and Natural England. A number of councils throughout the country have used the turf to improve parks and open spaces in their areas, and many more have made enquiries for future projects.

In addition the turf is specified by many architects for both green roofs and landscaping projects as a simple way of guaranteeing a wild flower meadow and the ecological benefits this brings.
