I have started sowing wildflower seeds along this area between the trees and highway.
There is a huge ditch there and always ugly weed.
Sowing
1/4 pound butterfly garden mix
1/2 Pound of Perennial/ Annual Wildflower mix
mixed daylily seeds

I hope your seeds do well, wildflowers can be so beautiful along the roadways.
Here in Texas we owe a lot to Lady Bird Johnson for starting the highway beautification program.
I hope yours works as well as hers
Wildflowers are the Smiles of Nature.
Gardening with Texas Native Plants and Wildflowers.
Sowing wildflowers is very important for the pollinator population in any area.
And a wildflower planting keeps on reseeding so the effect continues through the years.
Is it safe from the mowers there? I hate the highway mowers! The guy helping me get rid of things lately while I'm cleaning up around here wanted to weed-whack a limited area. I let him...it's January and there's nothing but some mostly dormant grasses there. I told him...not anywhere else! And he said "Yes, ma'am! I remember when you yelled at my brother one time about your native plants!" Guess they know me by now!
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White

I love your idea! Best luck for it!!
I've been collecting seeds from some of the plants along a dirt road where I take pics of wild flowers, waiting for it to be mowed. When I saw that it had been mowed, I took the seeds on my next trip and scattered them back (except a few I hope will grow wild Ipomoea vines over top of our doghouse.) Hopefully the show will be even better this year and next! It only gets mowed every 2-3 yrs, that I've seen.
