perennial planting

Instead of annual planting in some parks & roundabouts etc put in perrenial plants or more wild-flower areas- thereby reducing costs & upkeep.

Why the contribution is important

Cost reduction while retaining pleasant natural areas.

Will look lovely and makes lots of sense for biodiversity as well. Can we also include fruiting trees and shrubs to this plan? I can never understand why we have all these trees all over the place that don't produce fruit for every one.

Wild flowers can be very good for encouraging bees too. I think I heard that Birmingham are trying this, and I've seen very good results in Exmouth.
