Two people (obviously watching Sarah raven!) have contacted me to ask
where the best place to get a bulk order of wildflower mix for chalk
meadows. I know you can get small amounts from the standard seed
companies but where do they go for larger amounts of seed. 1 lady has
about half an acre she could sow.

Found a site so answered my own question :)
Moles sell 1kg of seeds at a time so I'll tell them that unless anyone
recommends anywhere else?

First few to come up on Google wildflower seed mix bulk site:uk

But they're still £500 for a half-acre.
Mixtures including grasses, presumably intended for sowing on bare
ground, are cheaper per kilo, but need to be sown at greater weight per
square meter.

Yes had already googled and seen them thanks Stewart. Also found Moles
list.
Some have grass in which I am not sure that they want.
Maybe I'll advise them to do a small section first!
