During a trip to Brighton in July, I did a walkabout of the city and spotted wildflower meadows in cemeteries. It is acknowledged that a planted wildflower meadow can enhance biodiversity and deliver low-maintenance advantages in time.

I have made enquiries with staff at Land and Environmental Services about the possibility of wildflower meadows within Glasgow's cemeteries and I have been advised that this is being considered.
