In eight town parks, school pupils and members of the community worked with North Lanarkshire Council’s greenspace team during March to plant native wildflower bulbs.
Across North Lanarkshire , areas seeded and planted with wildflowers will be blooming this summer thanks to a number of projects designed to improve biodiversity.
The Mega Flora project is running at Strathclyde and Palacerigg Country Parks and four other locations where a mix of wildflower seeding, bulb and plug planting, and no mow areas of grassland will create diverse and healthy greenspaces for local people to enjoy, as well as help reduce biodiversity loss and combat climate change.
Five community sites at Chryston, Caldercruix, Dykehead, Allanton and Torbothie, chosen and planted by local residents through a Participatory Budgeting initiative, will also see their first summer of flowers this year. “Areas of grass and wildflowers have benefits for our biodiversity, allowing insects, birds and small animals to find shelter, food and nesting sites,” said Councillor Helen Loughran, convener of the council’s Environment and Climate Change Committee.
