Clovers for spreading as I walk dogs and the wildflower is for more overgrown areas.
About 15 years ago my kid was given a picture book called The Curious Garden about a little boy who practices guerilla gardening in NYC which eventually grows (via community action) into to the High Line Garden.
Ever since then I’ve tried to keep packets of native wildflowers on me. There are a lot of semi-overgrown and underutilized areas where I live, and I can think of a few spots now that have regular outbreaks of wildflowers because I happened to be passing by one day.
My dad’s hoping for the groundskeeping job here which will mean my megalomaniacal plans for gardening and landscaping will start getting official approval.
I REALLY hope the wildflower mix takes off. I’ve placed it pretty strategically in the little area we call our backyard.
