Weeds are a gardener’s nightmare. Often considered an eyesore, at the first sight of one sprouting we’re quick to douse it in weed killer and hastily pull out the roots. They find their way into our gardens, driveways and pavements, but could weeds be much more important than we realise?, Helen Marks follows writer and broadcaster Jane Perrone on a pavement safari in search of weeds and plants tucked into the cracks of our urban areas.
She explains “I wanted to convey the message that possibly those plants might be more than just weeds. They have roles in ecology, they have a role for insects, urban biodiversity, they may be able to capture some pollution, they produce oxygen, they can help us understand our local environment better.”Weeds grow in every corner of the country and in the most inconspicuous of places.
With the hustle and bustle of our cities there’s plenty of soles and vehicles moving seeds around, spreading wild flora.holds 75,000 seeds! There’s also ample choice of habitats a weed can take root in urban areas such as river banks, parks, gravel driveways, roof gardens and brick walls. Sophie explains weeds may even provide a much-needed boost to your mood if you’re trapped between the grey walls of a concrete jungle: “They have a role in potentially helping our mental health. Just seeing little bits of nature, it’s important to reveal that world. It’s sitting there beneath our feet and it’s just waiting to be discovered really.”, thinks councils need to pay more attention to road verges.
