IF I HAD INFINITE MONEY…

I’d figure out how to display the 100 UK #NativePlants & #WildFlowers in my Garden Wild Spreadsheet so you can a gantt chart of which plant flowers when, in order of date.

I would also add a column for ”grows best with” companion plants.

And I would have a chart grouping the plants by *colour*, in a visually pleasing manner.

BUT I DON’T

So, here's a vanilla spreadsheet. Use it in #GardenDesign, grow #NativePlants where possible.

@natureworks this is brilliant, many thanks! We will use it in our natural regen zone (the aptly named ‘boggy field’).

@dommiz Bog Myrtle (Myrica gale) is a lovely shrub as well, use as a flavouring. And you can grow Ragged Robin, Purple Loosestrife, Marsh Marigold, all very exciting :)

@natureworks 4 years ago it was just rushes (juncus effusius) and bramble. Now we have flag iris, hemp agrimony, jacobs ladder, ragwort, betony, comfrey, various mint, star of bethlehem, snakeshead fritillary and, er, nettles!
