Why are wildflowers so special?
Wildflowers and wildflower-rich habitats support a whole host of insects and other wildlife, including us humans! In the UK, crops like strawberries, raspberries, cherries and apples all need to be pollinated by insects to produce a good crop - which means that making sure that we have a wide variety of our UK-native wildflower species is key.
