A review of some of the species that can be successfully cultivated and how this has been done with examples of garden meadows.

A scientist by training and inclination Wilson started as a zoology graduate, then carried out research in human genetics for my PhD. A senior research fellow at St Mary’s Hospital Medical School, he had a career in clinical genetics before moving into conservation. He founded Bewdley Orchids, a specialist conservation nursery focused on cultivating British native orchids from seed to help restore local biodiversity and repopulate habitats.

He has written over a dozen books, text books, popular science and professional level books. These have all been science based on many varied subjects such as genetics, astronomy, orchid cultivation and meadow cultivation.
