Hooray! You’ve bought the kit. Well done for making the first, and arguably most important step, to creating an edible wildflower meadow. 

1. Decide when to plant your wildflower seeds. We strongly recommend planting between late September and early March. 
2. Pull out any plants (apart from ones you’re keeping) from the area you want to grow your edible wildflowers. If there is grass in the area, remove all grass, including the roots.
3. Rake over the ground to flatten it.
4. Stand with your hand by your waist and fling the wildflower seeds, as if you are throwing a frisbee. If you want to cover a larger area, we recommend mixing the seeds with sand or rice hulls. 
5. After sowing the wildflower seeds, lightly sprinkle with a layer of compost, or rake over the soil.
6. Water the area well to ensure that the wildflower seeds have enough moisture to germinate.
7. Wait until the spring to see your meadow appear. Some wildflowers won’t flower until their second year, especially if they were planted in Spring. Don’t worry – all species will provide you with beautiful blooms from their second year.

There are several places you can check to see if a wildflower interferes with your medication:

1. Ask your healthcare provider: Your healthcare provider is the best source of information about potential interactions between wildflowers and medications. They will be able to advise you on which wildflowers are safe to consume and which should be avoided.
2. Check the drug label: The label on your medication should list any potential interactions with other substances, including wildflowers.
3. Check online resources: There are several online resources that provide information about potential interactions between wildflowers and medications. These include the National Institutes of Health’s Drug Interactions Checker and the Mayo Clinic’s Drug Interaction Checker.
4. Consult a pharmacist: Pharmacists are trained in the use of medications and can provide information about potential interactions between wildflowers and medications. You can ask your pharmacist for advice or consult a pharmacist at a natural health store.

By checking these sources, you can determine whether a particular wildflower is safe to consume while taking your medication. If you are unsure about whether a wildflower is safe to consume, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before consuming it.

If you are concerned about allergies to a particular wildflower, there are several steps you can take to introduce the wildflower slowly into your diet:

1. Start with a small amount: Begin by consuming a small amount of the wildflower, such as a single leaf. This will allow you to test your reaction to the wildflower without consuming a large quantity.
2. Wait a few days: After consuming a small amount of the wildflower, wait a few days to see if you experience any allergic reactions. If you do not experience any reactions, you can gradually increase the amount of the wildflower you consume.
3. Consult with a healthcare provider: If you have a history of allergies or are taking medications that may interact with the wildflower, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before introducing the wildflower into your diet. They can advise you on the best way to introduce the wildflower and monitor your reaction.
4. Be aware of symptoms: Pay attention to any symptoms that may indicate an allergic reaction, such as skin rash, hives, difficulty breathing, or stomach upset. If you experience any of these symptoms after consuming the wildflower, stop consuming it and consult with a healthcare provider.

By following these steps, you can introduce a wildflower slowly into your diet and monitor your reaction to it. This can help to reduce the risk of allergic reactions and ensure that you are able to safely consume the wildflower.

Even though these meadow kits contain 100% edible flower and flower varieties, it is still incredibly important to identify each flower before eating it because some flowers are poisonous and can cause serious illness or death if ingested. Seeds of toxic flowers can be carried by birds or wind into your garden, or they could be lying dormant in the soil. 

To identify flowers, it is important to use reliable resources such as field guides, online resources, or the assistance of an expert. It is also important to pay attention to the flower’s characteristics, such as its leaves, flowers, and overall appearance, and to compare it to known edible or poisonous flowers.

Overall, it is important to carefully identify each flower before eating it to ensure that it is safe and suitable for consumption. By taking the time to correctly identify flowers, we can avoid the risks of ingesting poisonous or harmful flowers and enjoy the many benefits of foraging for flowers and herbs. With time and experience, you will begin to be able to identify the flowers without checking.
