Plant Native Wildflowers in Pots/Balcony for Pollinators

Today’s nudge? Gardening & Growing – and you don’t even need a garden. Grab a pot, a window box, or that sad balcony corner.

Plant native wildflowers. Not just any flowers – the ones that evolved right here with our local bees, butterflies and hoverflies.

One small pot of native blooms can become a literal lifesaver for pollinators that are disappearing fast.

No lawn? No problem.

A single windowsill or balcony edge bursting with colour sends out the signal: “Food here. Safe here.”

You’re basically opening a tiny 24-hour diner for insects in the middle of the concrete jungle.

Result?

More bees. More butterflies. More birds. Healthier local ecosystem.

And you get to watch the magic happen from your sofa.

So this weekend:

One pot.

One pack of native wildflower seeds or plug plants.

Big impact. Tiny effort.

That’s Nudge #1.

Small move. Real change.

See you soon for the next one.

In the meantime… give those pollinators something to smile about.
