Sward enhancement refers to management techniques which aim to increase the botanical diversity (mainly the wildflower component) of species-poor grassland. Such work can be funded under Environmental Stewardship, in particular Higher Level stewardship. This leaflet describes the use of pot-grown transplants or seedling plug plants to add wildflowers to existing grassland. This technique is recommended only as a supplement to the main methods of sward enhancement which are oversowing or slot seeding with wildflower seed and spreading species rich green hay. These are described in separate information notes.
