Green London: Bee-Friendly Flowers Beside a Road
Here’s a bee enjoying some red dead-nettle beside a road in my home patch of south-east London. The local council has allowed wasteground below advertising hoardings to grow into a mini-wildflower meadow. I photographed the bee in the picture at the top, and other wildflowers in the picture below, yesterday.
I’ve been blogging about green London over the past year or so. My aim is to point out that the city and suburbs are places where nature thrives as well as where people live and work. I started doing this after having several conversations with pagans who believe London is all concrete. In fact, London has lots of areas filled with grass, trees, flowers, and other plants. It became the world’s first National Park City in 2019. The london.gov.uk website says:
“Around 20 per cent of London is public green space. And almost 50 per cent of London is green and blue from above, including trees, green roofs, road verges and private green space.”
Many of my posts on this topic have been about parks, gardens, and urban woodland. I feel it’s also important to look at spots like this, often overlooked as people drive by in cars or pedestrians hurry past on their way to the shops or to catch a bus, as they all make London greener.
