Question : Isn’t it more expensive to plant flowering plants along roadways instead of mowed grasses?
Sort order :

Although the up-front cost is a little higher than mowed grasses, the cost savings over time due to less mowing will make it cost effective to include pollinator plantings. This also reduces fuel costs and emissions. The overall ecological benefit of the plantings will positively impact the local and global economy.
