Wild garden plants
You may have noticed that more and more parks and gardens have wild plants growing in parts of their lawns. This is not due to negligence!
By allowing local flora and fauna to grow wildly, gardeners contribute to the propagation of small garden creatures who often need weeds for their developement. These spaces provide breeding areas for ladybirds, hoverflies and other pollinating insects like bees or butterflies and their caterpillars.
You too can leave part of your garden to wild plants, plants which you would normally uproot like nettles, which the caterpillar of the peacock buterfly feeds on, or any other plants useful to a balanced organic garden.
