If you told me, years ago when I started gardening, that I would be dedicated this much space and attention to flowers I would’ve laughed, but let me tell you why I do: 1. Pollinators - Not all flowers, or flowering vegetables, attract or feed the same sizes and varieties of pollinators, and as such it’s important to have a wide variety in your garden. I have everything from a wide variety of native bees, to butterflies, hummingbirds and more in my garden on a daily basis, and I’ve seen a massive increase as I’ve added more flowers. 2. Ease - I might get in trouble for this but flowers are easier than growing vegetables, and while I love aiming for abundant harvests I also enjoy growing things that don’t need much maintenance. 3. Beauty - Seeing the wide variety of colors both in my garden, and in my house when I harvest them, brings me joy, and in contrast to buying flowers that came from hundreds if not thousands of miles away I can be proud that they came form my small organic urban garden.
