It’s easy to gloss over underrated plants when designing a yard, but as experts reveal, it’s both us and our gardens that are missing out. Frequently regarded as weeds, nothing special or simply seen as unfashionable, these plants can be hardworking, remarkably easy going and invaluable to nature and the health of our yard.
By taking a fresh look at undervalued plants and discovering a little more about their qualities, we can begin to understand the different ways they can enrich and improve our plots. Offering pollen and nectar, seeds, shelter and soil enriching nutrients, we should take time to think carefully about their unique characteristics and just maybe find a spot to celebrate them in our vegetable gardens, containers and flower bed ideas.
