I framed my first print from Ireland.

Our 8 day vacation to Ireland in 60 seconds.

Good Morning!

Morning Garden Observations

What’s that Bloom with Native Plant Fran? It’s Foxglove Beardtongue (Penstemon digitalis) #nativeplants #pollinators #birds #nature #flowers #nativeplantfran #bees

Coming to a movie theater near you…or not.

Just going to leave this right here…

I asked ChatGPT to roast me. Here are highlights let’s talk about your look. Bald head, goatee, bright blue glasses— like Mr. Clean had a midlife crisis at a botanical garden Oh & your superhero version? What are your powers—Photosynthesize Awkwardness? Summon Latin plant names to confuse enemies?

Peek-a-boo!

Heard these things are flying off the shelf.

#Tbt 40 years ago is a galaxy far far away…

I spy with my little eye…

I never thought I'd see the day when 'Black Market Eggs' stopped meaning human eggs, and started meaning chicken eggs.

My wife just informed me that when she orders food for pick up, she uses a fake name - not because she’s worried about identity theft, she’s just trying out new names. 🤣

Stop looking on Amazon. You don’t need anything else. You’re good. That sofa pillow with the zen saying wont bring you peace You have everything you need. Go stand in the woods. Just listen. Breathe. Repeat. (Btw - I learned this from Fight Club. I just replaced fighting with trees.)

Well, I’m back down to 5’11” 😕

I just had a Gen Z tell me he liked my drip game. No cap, yo. I got rizz. That’s my vibe.

Fire pit, hot tub, and a new bird unlocked. This is my kind of morning.

What are the odds I find an Eagles hat with what looks like a Blue Flag Iris?!?

Maybe their slogan should be, “We take unbalanced ecosystems and make them worse.”

What’s my favorite native plant? Let me show you! Northern Blue Flag (Iris versicolor). Thank you Connor Shiffert and Iron Thorn Tattoo for the amazing work! #tattoos #nativeplants #iris

It’s Tat-Tuesday!!!

Keynote address was a success. Now for my reward. Thank you Maine. I had a great time!

Just had a wonderful chat with Flyers legend Bill Barber who was in line behind me at my local Acme.

It is becoming evident that I have to start hiring security at tradeshows and conferences.

NEW PODCAST ALERT!!! I’m looking to start a new podcast in my free time. The idea is, “Let me interview you”. Once a week, I’ll announce, on social media, that the phone line is open. First person to get through will be interviewed by me. Nothing but crowd work. Look out for further announcements.

The beard is making a comeback.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Reason #1 on why not to do a fall garden cleanup. #nativeplants #birds

What a wonderful evening celebrating my award for the NJNLA 2024 Horticultural Professional of the year! And yes, that is a big bottle of vodka that Agatha is cradling like a baby. That was our Tricky Tray winnings. Thank you to everyone that made this possible and to those that attended.

No surprises here!

I will be the Keynote Speaker at the Grow Maine Green Expo on January 22nd 2025. Come find out how native plants can be an opportunity for your business.

I was honored to be a part of the Wildstory Podcast presented by Native Plant Society of NJ. Looking forward to this episode’s release. Here is my poem, “Ecotone”.
