This is the fifth post about the transition of a piece of waste ground into a purposed wild garden. These photos were taken during the year 2020 when it was in its natural state, that is to say, the “before” pictures, when there were already lots of interesting flowering plants, mostly native species but some escapees from gardens. The images this time feature Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) which would spring up from every mown area in the village if given the chance. Here by neglect it has been able to reach its full potential with its flowers providing an important food source for wildlife.
It’s hard to imagine that the wild garden is more attractive than what you have shown us so far. I’m enjoying this series a lot.

Yarrow is like milk spilt here and there. Beautiful. These have lovely long stems.

You may have a point, Linda. This is a slow-burn story. Let’s watch it unfold.
