Wildflowers: turf or seed?

[Blib]

We've recently had an offer accepted on a cottage in deepest Suffolk. The Boss informs me that she'd like a wildflower meadow in part of the garden.

I know nothing - about anything in general, but specifically about gardening, and I'm not sure what I should buy in order to give Mrs B. her meadow with the least amount of fuss.

I've found turf companies that can provide wildflower turf. Or, seed companies that will sell me bags full of wildflower seeds.

The garden consists mainly of newly laid turf over pretty poor, long-neglected soil.

What's my best course of action?

Thank you.

The land is poor. 18 months ago the cottage was an abandoned refurbishment and the garden was a churned dumping ground, full of rubble, bits of roof and various other pieces of detritus.

The current owner - a developer, has merely bulldozed the site and rugged it over. So, we have a blank, low grade canvas to play with
