About Wildahome — Grown from Our Own Meadows

Wildahome is a small, family-run British wildflower seed business. We grow native British wildflower seed from our own meadows in the Irfon valley, Powys, and from partner farms and meadows in Devon. Everything we sell has a direct provenance — seed we grew, or seed grown by partners we know personally, on land managed for nature.

We are not a seed broker. We do not buy in bulk from continental European seed houses, repackage it, and sell it as British. The distinction matters ecologically: genuinely locally grown seed carries genetic adaptations developed over generations in British soils and climate, making it more resilient and better suited to the habitats it is planted into.

We started Wildahome from our home at Tyn-y-Clyn, Llanafan Fawr, Powys — in the hill country of mid-Wales above Builth Wells. We manage all of the seed growing, species selection, and customer advisory work. including operations and order fulfilment.

Paul has direct, hands-on experience in creating and managing wildflower meadows at Tyn-y-Clyn and across multiple projects in Wales and England. He advises customers directly by phone and email on species selection, ground preparation, sowing timing, and long-term management. This personal advisory service is something large commercial seed houses cannot replicate.

Our Meadows

Tyn-y-Clyn, Llanafan Fawr, Powys

Our home meadows sit at approximately 300–350 metres above sea level in the Irfon valley, on thin, acidic soils characteristic of mid-Wales hill country. The fields are managed without fertiliser, herbicide, or pesticide — cut once annually in late summer with all cuttings removed. Species present include Harebell, Tormentil, Heath Bedstraw, Devil’s Bit Scabious, Heath Milkwort, Lousewort, and Meadow Buttercup.

Devon partner meadows

Our Devon meadows are managed by partner growers with whom we have a direct, personal relationship. The land is in south and mid-Devon, managed to the same principles as our own fields: no artificial inputs, annual late-summer cut, cuttings removed. Species grown here include Oxeye Daisy, Common Knapweed, Meadow Buttercup, Betony, Red Campion, and Meadow Cranesbill.

Why provenance matters

British native wildflower seeds sold in the UK come from a wide range of sources. At one end: seed grown in British meadows, harvested by hand, cleaned, and tested. At the other end, seeds are produced commercially in continental Europe and sold as ‘British wildflowers’ without meeting any meaningful standard.

Locally grown seed carries local ecotypes — genetic populations adapted to the region’s climate, soils, and seasonal patterns. This is the difference between a wildflower population that is resilient and self-sustaining over decades, and one that gradually declines as plants adapted to continental conditions fail to thrive in a Welsh hill meadow or a Devon valley.

When you buy from Wildahome, you can ask us exactly where your seed was grown. We will tell you.

What we sell

Our core range covers six habitat-specific 100% wildflower mixes and six 80/20 grass-wildflower mixes, plus seed mats, spring bulbs, county-specific mixes, soil testing kits, and broadcaster hire. All mixes are formulated to match specific soil types and habitat conditions — not generic, off-the-shelf blends.

We supply individuals, farmers, ecologists, landscape architects, councils, community groups, and developers delivering Biodiversity Net Gain. The advisory service is the same for all of them: talk to us before you order, and we will make sure you are buying the right thing for your site.
