River of Flowers began as a community project spearheaded by the Archway Herbal Clinic to create a ‘river’ or ‘pollination stream’ of wildflowers flowing through north London, proving a necklace of forage for pollinators and helping wild plants to survive. Since its inception, River of Flowers has been involved in the creation of many new urban meadows throughout London both indirectly through its partners, website, talks, advice sessions, wildflower workshops and events and more directly through the Urban Meadows Floral Bank. River of Flowers has designed an Urban Meadows Kit to help people create mini meadows with city-friendly, nectar and pollen rich wildflowers.
