Beautiful images show a weed is just a flower growing in the wrong place
Property group Bruntwood is using this year’s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Flower Show at Tatton Park (19 – 23 July) to champion urban greening.
Its garden features plants often written off as weeds that naturally colonise our urban spaces.
This gallery of images, created by photographer Adrian Lambert, showcases how these plants appear in our towns and cities. They were chosen because they can thrive in unconventional surroundings, with little water, soil and in shade.
Kate Vokes, director of culture at Bruntwood, said: “As our climate changes, gardens and plant life will play an increasingly key role in urban areas, from helping protect us against flooding and extremes of temperature, to supporting wildlife and helping communities to be healthier. Through our partnership with the RHS we want to emphasise the importance of enhancing plant life and green space in our cities for the benefit of the environment and future generations.”
