As an ecologist, I can attest to the fact that changing one plant on a patio can in fact, have a pretty big impact on what that plant is.
And was about to loudly applaud your sarcasm.
I like what you actually wrote too.
I'm trying to increase the number of bees and other pollenators in my garden at the moment and struggling to find plants that bees like and which don't die.
I did have some success fending off an infestation of aphids by introducing marigolds.
Shame actually because they were being farmed by ants and the rose they were on hasn't done anything worthwhile ever (probably as a result of a viral infection caused by aphid infestations.)
