As more local authorities stop routinely spraying weed killer, so more wild plants appear along the edges of pavements. It feels like a sign of resilience on the part of nature.
Weeds are not signs of bad land management but of hope.
Action 22: Love things we do not own. Look round your garden or your nearest park and choose a plant – a flower or a tree – and spend time admiring it, paying it attention. If we are to be truly motivated to care for the world around us, we need to fall in love with it. This year I have been drawn to the weeds that grow in the garden and see them now as wild flowers.
