Nettles

I am planning a wildlife area in my garden. I have an area of about 2m x 2m which i am planning on putting plants and wildflowers in here to attract butterflies and bees. I have made a log pile and have an area of 1m x 1m that i wanted to put some nettles in for butterfly etc to breed in. Does anyone know if you can get nettle seeds or do i need to find someone to donate some nettles from there garden?

Cheers
Rusty

 

Theres bound to be someone with a clump of nettles they want rid of so just dig up a clump and 'bobs your uncle'.I saved a couple of clumps in my garden not only for the wild life but for me:D I love nettle soup

 

Never seen Nettle seed for sale. Easiest thing would be to gather a bit of soil from an area youve seen them growing. It'll have allsorts of wild seeds in.

 

Nettle soup

Hi here in this part of france its common to have nettle soup, and im sure you can buy the seeds from T&M seeds under the herb section.
