Guidelines for
Wildflower planting
We are frequently asked what species of flowers
may be planted on our beautiful site. As it is critical that we
retain the woodland nature of the site, the following list of
recommended wild flowers has been prepared for you to ensure
that the habitat is controlled and authentic.
Please ensure that you buy WILD FLOWER bulbs, plugs or seeds and
NOT garden varieties.
Please note
that as some backfilling of graves may take place, planting is
best left until six months after the burial.
