Flower Power!

Where flowers bloom so does hope.- Lady Bird Johnson


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.

  1. Our ecosystem does work together to keep us safe. It is a wondrous beauty how even the minute species help in keeping that balance.

    1. You are right Leha. We never notice this phenomenon.
