Clovers for spreading as I walk dogs and the wildflower is for more overgrown areas.

I REALLY hope the wildflower mix takes off. I've placed it pretty strategically in the little area we call our backyard.

    About 15 years ago my kid was given a picture book called The Curious Garden about a little boy who practices guerilla gardening in NYC which eventually grows (via community action) into to the High Line Garden.

    Ever since then I’ve tried to keep packets of native wildflowers on me. There are a lot of semi-overgrown and underutilized areas where I live, and I can think of a few spots now that have regular outbreaks of wildflowers because I happened to be passing by one day.

    That book sounds awesome! I've been guerilla gardening for years and the best tip I've learned is to research which native species are most likley to thrive without maintenance in your region. Local conservation websites usually have free guides on this - total game changer for success rates.

    May I ask what is the impact of it ? Second question were can I get this type of seeds ?

    Doesn't seem to have taken off too strong yet but ah well. As for the seeds I bought them at the hardware store.

    Does the wildflower break past the ciment ?

    Probably not but It's not really relevant where I have it planted. Unless you're just being an ass and pretending like I planted it in my kitchen because that's the backdrop for the photo.
