Soil
Inversion Works
Our new technical publication Soil Inversion Works is now available as a download
( link) with updated research and practical landscape applications for this
groundbreaking creative conservation approach.
Over 35 sites have now been created nationally, many using soil inversion,
and we are keen to share our experience of the benefits of this technique,
particularly for introducing native wildflowers into new woodlands.

A new
natural attraction
for St.Helens
Wildflower fields at Inglenook Farm, Rainford, St Helens are supporting the Council's sustainable rural business strategy with an exciting project to develop a new farm attraction. Our trading business Landlife Wildflowers is bringing its wildflower production fields to Ingleook Farm off the A570, just outside Rainford village, and linking with the National Wildflower Centre in Knowsley.
The first phase
saw 12 hectares (30 acres) sown with annuals and perennials this year and
we plan to sow additional fields in Spring 2009. Inglenook Farm is also the
new home of Phytobotanica, a small
business leading the UK field in the production of organic essential oils.
They are leasing the farmhouse and outbuildings together with land at the
farm to develop a new National Essential Oil Farm and Research Centre.
The farmhouse is the new base for its Hygeia School of Holistic Therapies.
