Book 25, Question 98
Why are some city lawns turning into wildflower meadows?
Mowed grass uses water, fuel, and time, but it does not give much food to wildlife.
Wildflower meadows have flowers that feed bees and butterflies, and grasses that give seeds to birds. Their deep roots soak up rain and need less mowing. A meadow can look messy at first, but it is full of life. Some towns set aside strips of land to grow wild.
