rule #1: be kind
Been planting some wildflowers in my garden lately and have other flowers that bumblebees and bees seem to like but if i'm the only one doing it in a 10 km radius then it doesn't really matter much does it.
I doubt you're the only one with flowers in a 10 km radius
Kinda feels like it when you are in the city and fine maybe i overexaggerated and it's 2-3 km but the point still stands.
There used to be more patches of green and now we have everyone buying empty plots to build houses to rent out, it's actually looking more and more depressing.
Where in the world do you live? I had a front and back garden when I lived in DC.
My yard is mostly clovers now out in the Baltimore suburbs
Maybe not in the grand scheme of things, but most of us will be long gone before we see the results of the grand scheme of things, if it makes you happy, do it.
