The beauty of wildflowers left free to bloom
SIR – One positive consequence of the current situation is that our surroundings are greener.
The verges in and around towns, which would normally have been cut, are now full of grasses and wildflowers, providing a feast for beleaguered insects. Let us hope that this results in a change in councils’ “grass-cutting” policies, and that they leave our verges alone in future.
