Lady Bird Johnson, first lady of the United States from 1963-1969, turned a good idea into action. Beautify America, her sweeping vision for conservation and enhancement of the built environment, manifested itself in ways that were decades ahead of her time. Among other policy aspects of her program, Mrs. Johnson organized the planting of huge swaths of wildflowers throughout the city of Washington DC, along highways and in parks, in the neighborhoods and downtown. Now you can follow her example with Seedles, colorful balls of non-GMO wildflower seeds that you just place on the ground and water regularly. Each package contains a mix of 50% perennials and 50% annuals, and you can purchase Seedles native to your part of the country. The bees, and your neighbors, will love you. Learn more and order here. Wouldn't this be a great weekend project for kids?
