And give the insects what is due to the insects.

These flower borders are stimulated and subsidized by the government. The idea behind it is that this stimulates the biodiversity and insect population. Usually the edges are not used anyway to have space for machines. Now they are often a bit wider. And certainly more beautiful.

Love the pops of colour going all the way to the end! And what a great use of the edges! Fav

[Babs]

What a beautiful wildflower meadow.

[Beryl Lloyd]

How wonderful and pretty to see as well as being environmentally friendly

[JackieR]

A pretty border, but it poisons insects if herbicides and insecticides put on the crops

[Diana]

Such a wonderful sight and beautiful shot, such a wonderful selection of colours.

[Wylie]

Beautiful indeed.

[Dione Giorgio]

Oh yes, definitely beautiful. Great shot. I learn so much about Dutch farming from you.

[Speedwell]

Certainly this creates a really pretty border.

Lovely to see this lovely wide flower border with its colourful variety of flowers - fav! I think that where such flower borders exist here they are about 6ft (1.9 metres) wide, but they are not very common.

Very nice

I like it!

[Kathy]

I think it's wonderful. It's beautiful for all to enjoy and provides food and living space for insects and birds.

What a happy sight! This program reminds me of one that was started by "Lady Bird" Johnson way back in the 1960's when her husband served as president. She had the idea to sow wildflowers in the green dividers of our highways- you can still see many of those "gardens" in bloom today. They are never mowed over, only trimmed.

[Merrelyn]

This is such a great idea and it creates a beautiful border.

[Vesna]

I love it!
