In our Estate in Clapton Park, Hackney we were keen to introduce colour, reduce herbicide use and avoid the need for watering. By using annual mixes we achieved all three goals.

We are also working with James at Coronet Turf to trial wild flower meadow turf along the grass edges; this should cut out the need for herbicides entirely.

Instead of all the areas awkward to cut with mowers being sprayed to mud all year, we use flowers.
