A Special Garden For The Honey Bees

Hi folks. Are you tired of your lawn... all that mowing... that fertilizing... all that combustion, all that boring green order? Well, here is an answer. Do like we did at Blue View lane with our Wildflower meadow.

Here we have ferns and flowers, Rye grass and playground mix, Daisies, Lupine, and multi colored Phlox.... all wild and wondrous. And we have tossed away the lawn mower, that polluter of air and sky, that noisy bane of sensibility. And while it pollutes a bit and makes some noise (but nothing like a mower) our landscaping tool of choice is a Huskvarna string trimmer. We use this to sculpt the grasses, to slash the ferns, and judiciously preserve our myriad wildflowers. A push here, a high slash there, and voila we sculpt our hillside into a giant undulating bouquet. With this device you become a sculptor of the fern and fauna. Much more fun, and way more creative....

So, go out and get those Wild flower seeds from Zeeland Michigan, toss them about, then watch as your yard turns into a wild garden that will stretch through the summer. First blues, then pinks, then reds, oranges and yellows until late summer when you will see the wild Cosmos and Gloriousa Daisy.Your lawn will become history. Hopefully the bees will come, and you will enjoy a benign wild garden just outside your window.
