A couple of years ago we drove past a roundabout in St.Austell on our way to Heligan and it had been sown with meadow flowers and looked so beautiful. The contrast between the delicate beauty of the flowers and the cars and buildings of modern life was such a good idea. Sadly I haven't seen this repeated on my travels. Although financial constraints mean my local council hasn't been out with the mowers and strimmers as much and the wildflowers in the verges this summer were a great improvement on mown grass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223294603002782762.post-26509790158293636292011-08-28T14:48:32.260-07:002011-08-28T14:48:32.260-07:00Wow, that all looks lovely, never imagined I'd...Wow, that all looks lovely, never imagined I'd want to visit Sheffield for flowers but now its on my wishlist. I hope they inspire more areas to follow suit.Callyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276876280803790049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223294603002782762.post-66150815369344176872011-07-18T00:37:14.602-07:002011-07-18T00:37:14.602-07:00I think this is a brilliant idea and would love to...I think this is a brilliant idea and would love to try something like this on a smaller scale in my own garden.

I wonder if the paler salvia is s. sclarea or a pratensis hybrid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223294603002782762.post-34878026644195669452011-07-05T08:57:03.225-07:002011-07-05T08:57:03.225-07:00Hi,

There are some relatively nearby to where I live although it's just a simple strip by the side of the road - would be amazing if the entire area was flowers instead then it would definitely have more of an impact. As it is people will just walk through or around them to continue their antisocial stuff - I don't actually know if they do though as I don't live close enough to experience it first-hand.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.com
