Idverde deliver vision for visual impact

The installation of a wildflower meadow in a recreational and memorial ground has been cited as the ‘highlight of the year’ in a report summarising the work undertaken for Stratfordon-Avon District Council by contractors Idverde in 2022.

Euroflor Rainbow

Annuals supplied by Origin Amenity Solution (OAS) was selected to deliver a burst of vibrant colour and the results didn’t disappoint.

Idverde is Europe’s leading provider of grounds maintenance services and landscape creation projects.

“The council approached me to see how we could increase visual impact and biodiversity to an area of recreational land, making the space more welcoming for people and wildlife to enjoy,” explained Idverde Contracts Manager Alex Colbourne.

“While we had worked with OAS before, we hadn’t had seed from them, so I spoke to our Area Sales

Manager Andria Backhaus who took some soil samples and provided us with some excellent advice. With her experience, we prepared the area ready to sow the Rainbow mix at the end of April.”

Assisting Andria, Alex and the team of operatives with the sowing of the Euroflor was Howard Wood who, with over 40 years of experience in installing meadow lands across Europe, was well placed to provide a plan to achieve maximum results.

“We followed their advice and started to see growth in approximately three weeks, and in six weeks we were in full bloom. I think it’s fair to say the results exceeded everybody’s expectations. We had an array of flowering species, bright and bold colours and the comments we received from the public was amazing,” said Alex.

Euroflor Rainbow Annuals from OAS is a popular choice for those looking for rapid establishment and a long flowering period.
