Good morning everybody!
Looking out onto my terrace, I see an assortment of garden flowers and wild flowers, commonly called weeds.
At least here in Germany we are being educated about the added value of wild flowers, particularly with regards to the declining number of insects and birds. According to experts, dandelions should no longer be banned from the garden.
As a child I used to love walking through fields such as this one (picture thanks to Pixabay). But, I'm not sure about encouraging dandelions in my garden.
Would you like to see more wild flowers and fewer cultivated varieties in parks and gardens?
As far as I am concerned, yes! So long as our cultivated varieties can still be seen in public places, it would be far less work for me and seeing my rosebushes turning into their natural state would not be such a disaster.
Dog roses are pretty, resistant and so easy to maintain. I know, I've managed to encourage a few bushes - unintentionally! (Photo thanks to Pixabay)
