Wildflower turf
Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2018 10:11 am
A friend of mine has got so fed up with her council not cutting the verge outside her house that she's decided to turn it into a proper wildflower verge and is ordering specialist turf with which to replace the current grass. I gather she's had to apply for special council permission to do this. I'm intrigued by this idea.
With our local area suffering similar council cutbacks in grass cutting I'm wondering whether our Parish Council could be persuaded to follow a similar route in some of our more public areas.
Does anybody have such specialist wildflower turf in their public areas? . Can anybody give me more information about the types of turf available and any photographic examples of where it works well?
It seems to me that if austerity cutbacks are continuing to impact on public areas, this is perhaps one area where we could start to make a virtue out of a necessity and enhance our local surroundings.
