Quote: "A naturescape is precisely that, a "scape" not a field of dandelions, which btw, look great when they're flowering but once the seeds have left them, look as ugly as sin."

By organizing plants by height & flowering time, there could be a continous show of colour. Yup, some plants will be more vigorous & take over, but that would take a few seasons. Workers can come in & 'weed' at that time.

There are also many garden flowers that propagate themselves easily by seed. Why not try some of these? (I hope that Doesn't make them weeds.)
As far as the subject here is concerned, I'd be happy if more attention was paid to keeping grass/vegetation cut down at entrances & exits so that drivers can see pedestrians & other vehicles. If we are gonna put effort & labour into 'maintenance' of roadsides etc., I'd be happy to see it put into safety before pure decoration, & that simply isn't happening now.
(Especially in Ancaster!)
