Wildflower meadow year two: from bare agricultural field to 43 native species in a single 1-hectare plot. Bee survey counted 18 species including the nationally scarce brown-banded carder bee. Total spend: £340 on seed mix, zero on maintenance after year one. Biodiversity restoration doesn't have to be expensive — it has to be patient. #Biodiversity #WildflowerMeadow #Pollinators
