Pam Lewis has worked with meadows and grassland all her life. Her own garden, Sticky Wicket in Dorset, was made famous by her book Making A Wildflower Meadow, first published in 2003 and now out in paperback. Sticky Wicket is composed of eight meadows (some tiny, some large) that have been developed in different ways. Today Pam works as a consultant, helping to enrich gardens with wildflowers and has developed fascinating strategies as a result of her lifetime’s work and keen observation. As gardeners, our appreciation of the value of wildflowers both aesthetically and from a habitat point of view has grown dramatically; most of us like to include them in our plots, small or large. Pam’s work also illustrates how smaller spaces such as an area of gravel, a battered wall or a tiny lawn can all cater for wildflowers.
