#droughtresistance — Public Fediverse posts

I'm a bit involved in a biodiversity improvement project on our local common.
-Reducing encroaching brambles & replanting wild flowers to recreate a meadow. .
Some species planted there earlier in the year (when we still knew what rain was) grew, flowered a bit & dried to death before seeding. Very sad.

Yarrows doing ok though & willowherb looking good in other places.

Anyone any suggestions for more native drought hardy wildflower species? (UK)

Could we see more Indigenous foods in our diet as the climate changes?
As climate changes, researchers are advising farmers to grow bush foods to improve drought resistance
