I want to grow wild flowers in my lawn. Any advice on what to do ?
Well dandelions, buttercups, clover and daisies will find their own way there! ;) Can you be a bit more specific? What sort of wild flowers do you want? When do you want them? Is this a lawn that's walked on or more of a meadow? What is the aspect and soil type?

Sorry, it is a lawn (over grown at the moment) which people walk on. However I would like to have some flowers in it which butterflies etc will like eg field scabious.
I am a very novice gardener, I have only had a garden for 9 months.
I'd be inclined to go for some creeping thymes. They are quite tough, will release a glorious smell if trodden on and beneficial insects love the flowers. I'd also leave a patch of clover and you could try Phacelia campanularia too. Suffolk Herbs and the Organic Gardening Catalogue both have a good selection of wild flowers. Good luck. :)

I'm no expert but how about chamomile?
