A practical reference for rebuilding species-rich meadow habitats

Donald MacIntyre’s guide addresses the full lifecycle of meadowland work: creating new areas of wild vegetation, restoring depleted sites, and managing them over time. Grounded in botanical science and practical experience, it places meadow restoration within the natural and cultural history of Britain and Ireland. Coverage extends beyond rural fields to gardens, woodland, urban spaces, parks, farmland, and transport corridors. A substantial directory profiles more than 220 plant species used in habitat creation and restoration across the British Isles, making the book both an overview of meadow ecology and a hands-on identification resource.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Gardeners planning wildflower or meadow-style planting
  • Land managers and conservation volunteers working on habitat restoration
  • Readers interested in the meadow landscapes and flora of Britain and Ireland

Book overview

Drawing on the latest botanical science and opinion, and real-world practical knowledge, this richly illustrated practical guide is essential reading for anyone interested in creating and restoring species-rich meadows and wild vegetation, whether it is a garden, woodland, field, urban space or simply to gain a greater understanding of the history and renovation of Britain and Ireland's rich and diverse meadows - an intrinsic part of our natural and cultural heritage. In this book, the UK's leading wild meadow seed producer, Donald MacIntyre, provides expert advice on all areas of the creation, restoration and management of meadowland, including a directory with detailed accounts of the 220-plus species for habitat restoration and creation in the British Isles.

"Donald's generosity in sharing his knowledge through this inspiring and practical publication will enable wider production of good quality seed to support and enhance biodiversity whether in wild areas, meadows, farmland, urban parks and gardens, and along transport routes". -- Sara Oldfield OBE
