More than £30,000 has been earmarked by Dundee City Council to carry out environmental work, including planting a wildflower garden at a Broughty Ferry junction.
The work to be carried out at Claypotts junction, also includes a more easily-maintained and managed central reservation, additional bulb planting and naturalised sections.
Broughty Ferry councillor Craig Duncan welcomed the plans and called for more sites in the area to be considered for similar landscaping.
Mr Duncan said wildflowers were relatively cheap to maintain compared to more formal gardens.
Broughty Ferry in Bloom is also supportive of the gardens and has been canvassing public opinion about sites where more flowers could be planted next year.
Areas suggested were Strathmore Street opposite the cemetery, Dundee Road just before Ravenscraig Gardens and along the Arbroath Road right up to the Monifieth border.
Mr Duncan said: “I welcomed the forthcoming new landscaping, including wildflowers, at the approach to the Claypotts junction.
“I asked the council to consider other locations across Broughty Ferry and to ensure that all such areas are given attention to be kept free of litter.
“Areas like that require less maintenance than more formal gardens, but that shouldn’t mean no maintenance.
“I would certainly like to see more wildflowers — they definitely add colour and variety to an area and it doesn’t cost a fortune either.
“Broughty Ferry in Bloom seem quite keen to see more of this too.
“It is all down to the public though, and we’d like to hear from people who live in these areas.”
Similar wildflower gardens have been planted at Riverside Drive, Princes Street and Dawson Park, among other locations in the city.
Joan Chalmers of Broughty Ferry in Bloom and Broughty Ferry Community Council, said: “We had been discussing the possibility of having wildflower gardens, particularly along Strathmore Street where is a plain grassy area with not much interest.
“We put up a post online asking people if they wanted to see more wildflowers around the area and we had nearly 100 replies all saying yes.
“Around the same time, the announcement about Claypotts junction was made by the council.”
