my local council seem to like planting maidenhair trees round my way for some reason, in the autumn when the fruit is around, it constantly smells like dog poo.
What i am considering doing with our residents association, with an AGM coming up, is putting a display board together of the local wildlife (and plant choices) and guaging what the interest for each house planting a 1m (2m if I can) plot with native wild flowers/ nectar rich flowers. not quite worked out the logistics of costs etc yet. got to be worth a try.
