Which flowers will you choose to create beauty & biodiversity at your allotment? Let's grow functional  floral borders, check out Mitch's favourites to get started:

‍

Verbena allows pollinators ease of access & great for short-tongue bees.

Calendula is a magnet for biodiversity.

Nasturtium - Jam-packed with vitamin C. They also deter pests!

‍

Some weeds have flowers too:

Flowering clover - leave them for a few days before cutting them back - give pollinators a chance!

Queens Ann's lace - watch out, its sap is phytotoxic. This means that it reacts with sunshine and causes blisters.
