Summer meadows spring up with a fabulous flush of colorful wild flowers. Besides their natural beauty, wildflowers offer a lot to our planet in the following ways:
- The picturesque blooms support our native pollinators whose loss could threaten our own food supply.
- Wildflowers are an intrinsic part of the food chain. Their seeds are an important source of food for birds in wintertime.
- Like all plants, wildflowers absorb Carbon dioxide and pollution from the air.
- Their root systems stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.
- Provide nesting habitats for insects, butterflies, birds, small animals and other wildlife.
- They are relatively easy to care for and rarely need pesticide applications.
- Wildflowers encourage a more natural ecosystem where different species work together to manage pests and diseases.
Devastation of meadows endangers wild flowers and re-connecting with them is absolutely vital for a healthy planet..
LET US CREATE HABITATS THAT BUZZ WITH LIFE.
