Here at the National Wildflower Centre we run a seasonal visitor attraction that showcases wildflowers in a natural environment with lots of ideas that you can replicate at home.  We provide information and raise awareness about the importance of wildflowers, and encourage people to learn about the creation and management of new wildflower habitats - we call this creative conservation.

All the money we raise at the centre is put back into our charitable work to preserve our native wildflower species, so just by visiting you can be sure you are making a contribution.

We're an eclectic mix of refurbished old buildings and new architecture.  Our visitor centre includes a cafe, shop and conference venue.  With courtyards and a walled garden demonstration space where we show seasonal displays.  You'll find us 5 miles from Liverpool city centre. We're open 7 days a week between March 1st and September 30th. Out of season our Visitor Centre and Shop are closed but the Cornflower Cafe and Conference rooms remain open Monday to Friday, October 1st to February 28th.

The National Wildflower Centre is accessible for people with disabilities and we are constantly working to improve access provision for everyone. A wheelchair and electric buggy are available for visitors to borrow. Our disabled visitors are very welcome to bring a carer to assist them, FREE - please ask reception staff.

The National Wildflower Centre is working in partnership with Knowsley MBC in 'The Wildflower Borough' of Knowsley, a place of innovation and enterprise.
