Creating your own simple meadow is a great project that is accessible to everyone. All you need is a tub, some soil and some seeds. Plant the seeds, keep them watered and simply watch your meadow bloom! Your meadow may be the oasis the bees in your neighbourhood need? Imagine if everyone had a mini-meadow on their balcony? Or if we transformed our lawns into beautiful meadows? The neighbourhood would look lovely, and the mini-meadows would provide much needed stop overs for your local bees.
Bee populations are in decline, and by simply creating your own meadow, you will be contributing to a global need for more habitats for bees. Our urban jungles can be very sterile places for bees that happen to pass through them, but with mini-meadows dotted around it would transform the area! It will also attract birds and butterflies. We have our own mini-meadow on our balcony. The white flower photo above is one of the lovely surprises from a packet of seeds we sowed.
Watching the meadow bloom has been fun for us too - simple fun!
