Spring in Spain II

Spring in Spain II

In this picture, we see a cultivated Petunia (with two-toned flowers) growing in a rich and living carpet of groundcover. This green carpet is made up of a variety of plants with different jobs: feathery leaves for shade, Sedum for toughness, clover to improve the soil (by adding nitrogen), and other herbs for biodiversity. It is an example of a permaculture groundcover where every plant plays a role.
