envirobites.org/2020/05/19/a… Couldn't agree more! Isn't it time we started appreciating our native flora for what it is? Can we PLEASE stop calling them 'weeds'?? Would it really be so bad to have them grow in cracks on pavements or on road verges? πŸŒ±πŸŒΏβ˜˜οΈπŸƒπŸŒΎ

All those β€œweeds” add up to a lot of urban biodiversity

Study finds more than 300 plant species growing out of the sidewalks of a single city.

My balcony meadow. I call "weeds" wildflowers. I never call them weeds anymore.

Did you buy a seed mix? What soil did you use? I’d like to do that next year 😺

I have levender, rosemary and Ivy on top and the balcony wild flower meadow on the bottom. I tied them well so they couldn't blow away.

Absolutely gorgeous, Rachel. Even a balcony can be a wildlife haven! Just imagine if we all did 'our bit', the difference that would make! πŸ¦πŸπŸ¦‹

It would be amazing if we all did a bit. I am right beside a park that has been growing natural wildflower meadows the last 2 or 3 years but I still wanted to help out a bit. And there have been a lot of bees on the balcony. They must of needed them. πŸ¦‹πŸžπŸ•ΈοΈπŸ•·οΈπŸ¦ŸπŸŒπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸ
