Wildflower Establishment - Habitat Regeneration

🌿Wildflower & Grass Meadow Establishment for a Sustainable Visitor Landscape

Project Summary

Habitat Regeneration supported Domaine Evremond with the creation of wildflower and traditional grass meadows across its vineyard estate in Chilham, Kent, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Designed with sustainability at its core, the winery has been carefully integrated into the surrounding landscape. As part of the estate’s wider environmental commitments and “Pledge to Sustainability”, Habitat Regeneration was appointed to enhance the natural setting through targeted wildflower establishment works.

The project focused on creating visually attractive and ecologically valuable habitats that support pollinators and biodiversity, while enhancing the visitor experience across the estate.

Our Approach

Working within the estate’s chalk soil conditions, we partnered with Kent Wildflower Seeds, who supplied native Kentish seed mixes tailored to the site and project objectives. Species selection considered biodiversity value, seasonal interest and suitability alongside the vineyard environment.

Works also included seeding the winery’s living roof using a specialist low-maintenance mix, established through manual cultivation and seeding to help the building blend naturally into the landscape.

The scheme was designed to complement Domaine Evremond’s premium visitor offering, creating an immersive natural setting around visitor routes and viewing areas.

By combining practical land management with ecological expertise, Habitat Regeneration delivered landscape enhancements aligned with the estate’s sustainability and environmental stewardship goals.

Outcomes

The completed wildflower areas will provide a vibrant, evolving habitat supporting pollinators, invertebrates and wider biodiversity across the estate.

The establishment also strengthens Domaine Evremond’s identity as a destination rooted in sustainability, quality and connection to the landscape.

Seasonal wildflower displays will enrich estate tours, walking routes and outdoor events with colour, texture and wildlife interest — demonstrating how practical habitat creation can complement premium hospitality and land-based businesses investing in both environmental value and visitor experience.

Through projects like this, Habitat Regeneration continues to support estates, landowners and environmental partners in delivering practical, lasting biodiversity enhancements.
