" Almost every person, from childhood, has been touched by the untamed beauty of wildflowers" Lady Bird Johnson
There is no doubt the wildflowers are one of the on trend gardening ideas right now. Not just in gardens but along roads, railway lines and motorways. On rooves, on the playing fields and across the park Why is this? No one answer perhaps but more a combination of the loss of wildflower meadows in the country side, the continuing concern about climate and the environment, support for bees and insects and just simply for their beauty My North Lancing neighbours David and Ruth planted up a wildflower area from turves and it it was David who said "come and take a look". I share some photos Please let me have or share photos of your wildflowers The good news for me is that David gave me some offcuts from the turves for the Home Garden, lucky me Across the area where I live we now have an excellent wildflower trail, take a look here https://www.thewildflowertrail.org/ The look of pleasure, excitement and joy on David's face sums the whole thing up Maybe you have room too...?

AuthorI launched this website on 16th August 2020 to bring together my thoughts on gardening,, its importance for health and wellbeing and two projects running concurrently, a renovation of my own garden on the West Sussex coast at Lancing and a nearby allotment.
