Wild Plants for Urban Gardens

​

What about a wild look in the urban garden?  An unusual garden that would host bees, insects and butterflies.  What about plants that "grow" worms, and then the birds come to pick them up and feed their young? Isn't it crazy to grow plants that would attract and produce worms?  The Butter and Eggs, and we have her.  And working to find more plants, please let me know if you find wormy plants, I am interested.   

And please check our selection of wild plants, would be beautiful in a city landscape. And remember that...

​

Most wild plants are very prolific and their seeds can last a long time in the soil before they germinate.  They produce two kinds of seeds; some that will germinate the following year, and others that will remain dormant in the soil until the conditions are such that the presence of the plant is needed for healing the soil.   Keep this in mind as you plant them, germination is slower and less than what we are used to.  Also, some seeds are harder to germinate as they need a cool treatment, and therefore it is best to plant them outside in the Fall rather than indoor flats in the Spring. 

As a general rule when planting wild plant seeds (specially the tiny ones), just scatter the seeds around and do not cover them, as most seeds need light to germinate.
