As urban expansion quickly replaces natural habitats, façade engineer Alistair Law has discovered a new way to restore native ecosystems for pollinators and create natural spaces for us all within cities – by turning the walls of buildings into meadows.

Alistair has developed his “Vertical Meadows” as a way to combat biodiversity loss in the heart of cities like London. To do it, he’s targeting the vertical surfaces of buildings and installing seasonal living walls of plants that are native to the region, grown directly on-site. The engineering builds on existing systems so the plants thrive year-round with limited need for water, and installation remains simple and cheap. He gets his seeds from Donald Macintyre, who grows a wild array of native plants with the help of his daughter (and some Shire horses). Together, they hand-harvest each flower to provide a biodiverse mix of 50 different native species.

Alistair is joined by Scarlett Weston of BugLife at a vertical meadow in full bloom in downtown London. She’s monitoring bees visiting the meadow, and hopes more pollinators will use these sites as stepping stones across the city, helping to bridge gaps along larger corridors she’s establishing across the UK.

Lance leaf Buckthorn,

Rhamnus lanceolata

Bring this plant back, make it common, make it known for fall interest, make it known for it’s benefits and scale and structure.

A show stopper, an under utilized native that can thrive in rocky conditions and specifically does well in alkaline hillsides, at one point Cincinnati Ohio was known for having this species in such high abundance that it was considered a weed species. I wish that was still the case, now Cincinnati is honey suckle and other suitable habitat is invasive buckthorn, privot, and autumn olive. This is a critical nectar species during transition from spring to summer, a bee and wasp magnet. Here we see it in alkaline uplifted marl and till located along risen sections of the black ash white cedar swamp woodland of cedar bog(a fen).

This species was also an incredible thicket island species critical to prairies and I never see it in restoration or recreation plots.

Plant of the Day

Monday 16 May 2022

In the meadows at Great Dixter, Sussex, the Anacamptis morio (green-veined orchid, green-winged orchid, crake feet, fool orchid, goose and goslings) were flowering. This orchid is highly variable in flower colour and grows in short, unimproved grassland on chalky soils.

Am I the only one who rolls my eyes at stuff like a mocked up poster that says "we need to criminalize golf" like am I just on the wrong website. Am I never going to fit in at the end of the day

#being a normie on here is almost impossible. anyway sorry you've never been to a public golf course anyone can go #and the replacement for golf courses wouldn't be a nice meadow of native grasses it would be a housing development. bffr #i know no one actually thinks that but it's the edgelordism that gets me

Sites that have long had lawns usually have poor soils where little else grows. But did you know that your lawn is likely the perfect site to establish a wildflower meadow? Learn all about how to do this with this PDF on organic site preparation created by the Xerces Society. This is for the pacific northwest, but they have guides for doing this all over the Unites States.
