Wildflower medians - Eco-trap or pollinator path?
What's your take on this Friend
Good morning Friend
As you might expect, Iβve been a BIG proponent of cities and townships replacing their grass with seasonal wildflowers.
On the surface, it makes a lot of sense. Why spend time (and tax dollars) every week mowing the grass between 2 roads when you can create a care-free meadow of flowers?
But could they be doing more harm than good?
