Week 3🌼 Wildflower of the Week: Dandelion 🌼
Love them or not, dandelions are one of the best early “refuelling stations” for bees. You’ll spot them in lawns, grassy edges and sunny banks all around Cratloe.
🐝 Pollinator value: 🟢 Very High
✨ Did you know? A few dandelions left to flower can make a real difference early in the season.
🌱 Tiny action: Leave a small patch uncut (or mow a path through it!).
