Urban Botany, Cardiff

Whilst most people don’t consider towns and cities to have a lot of wildlife, it is there.Grass verges, parks, gardens, on walls and roofs.

If you look, you will find it.

“Suffolk Country Lane.”

The hedges and verges alongside roads and lanes, can be a haven for wildlife if left to become a little overgrown.
Unfortunately many are cut repeatedly during the growing season.
Whilst some maintenance is done for safety reasons, most times it’s to ‘tidy up’.
Ideally those areas that will not effect safety should be left, hedges not flailed to stumps, flowers allowed to seed.
Perhaps local groups could be in charge of managing this.
Roadside verges and hedges have the potential to become mini nature reserves and pleasure fod all road users to enjoy.
Plantlife has a road verge campaign.
