Wildflowers
At Brocklands we only use native trees and plants. Increasingly, families want to be involved in planting flowers
on graves themselves and so in response to this we have put together the following wildflower collections.
These are best ordered in Jan/Feb for the bulb collection, and March/April for the Mixed and Popular collections.
All the plants come from a specialist native nursery in Northern England.
Order by letter with an appropriate cheque, or
