A buzzing garden video has caught the attention of other gardeners online, and it's not hard to see why.
A U.K. homeowner recently shared a clip on the r/GardeningUK subreddit that shows their garden come to life with bees darting from flower to flower. The clip comes with a brief description that reads, "Bees are productive today." But what's so special about it?
Well, creating a space that's welcoming to bees and other pollinators is not an easy thing to do, but this Redditor nailed it. By planting native flowers and reducing traditional lawn space, they've turned their backyard into a low-maintenance, eco-friendly space anyone would love to photograph.
Gardens like this one benefit not only bees and other pollinators, but also the people who care for them. Rewilding your lawn with native plants according to your gardening zone helps save time on lawn upkeep, reduce water usage and bills, and cut back on chemical fertilizers.
And, guess what? When they help pollinators thrive, gardeners are also supporting a healthier environment that ultimately benefits us all since pollinators help protect our food supply. It's a win-win situation.
Do you want to get some pollinators in your garden as well? If that's the case, there are tons of easy ways to get started. Even small changes, like replacing part of your lawn with something like clover or buffalo grass, can make a big difference.
It's no surprise that the video has caught so much attention. Some Redditors added quirky remarks like, "He is just fussy," followed by a bee emoji.
Others focused on rethinking their own gardens. One user said, "Oh, they're beautiful. I don't have a single Primrose in my garden, I really should change this."
