There's a small farmstand in my neighborhood, and now they carry my native plants coloring books. Baby steps🌱

Support the Arts! I put my money where my mouth is. #art #nativeplants #coloring

Enjoying the snow, but also also enjoying the thought of summer wildflowers. I started a series nearly 2 years ago and am looking forward to continuing it! #wildflowers #inkandcoloredpencil #bluelobelia #cardinalflower #prairieconeflower 🌱🎨🐡

What a beaut

I dug up this tomato plant in late autumn and potted it with some pea and bean plants 🌱 #gardening #indoorgarden #garden #houseplants

Hey #nativeplants #Baltimore and #AACoPosts friends. If you want to come to the seed share in a week you can post your wishlist and what you're bringing here. I have definitely brought stuff because someone wishlisted it before so think about it! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

What’s Blooming in SoCal? #California brittlebush (Encelia farinosa). Good on slopes for erosion. Butterfly & bird plant. First one of the season. Hoping that the 8 1/2” of rain will bring more early bloomers. #nativeplants

🌿 We could use a helping hand at Monarch Park www.forestr.org/monarch/ If you’re available this Monday or Wednesday from 3–5pm, we’d be truly grateful to have you join us as we spread mulch throughout the park to prepare the soil for new native plants and milkweed. 🦋

Helped put up a little free library #littlefreelibrary #maryland #library

Our forests at Woodend are looking beautiful as the trees prepare for winter! Their leaves are turning all shades of yellow, orange, and red. Check out how different native species look and are changing colors, and keep an eye out for them on your next walk before fall is over!

We cleaned native baby oyster cages yesterday (needs to be done every two weeks to keep the oysters healthy). The oysters will stay in the cage for a year, and then be "planted" (oystered?) at sites around the bay. #savethebay #chesapeakebay #oyster #oystergarden

I moved my houseplants back inside and found a stowaway #snail 🌱 #gardening #houseplants #macro

It's getting chilly around here, so the chicken run will be serving a dual purpose as a greenhouse. I planted two valencia orange trees to make use of the chicken fertilizer. #backyardchickens 🌱 #permaculture #silvopasture #agroforestry #compost #fruit #fruittrees #homegrown #eggs #forest #trees

So good

I used more zip ties on this than any other project #backyardchickens #chickens #chickenrun #chickencoop #chickenofthewoods

Do you think the inventor of zip ties wears a zip tie belt? Zip tie tie? Zip tie sandals? I would be clothed head to toe in zip ties

♥️Ooooh! I love the pollen knob on the top of the cardinal flower opening that evolved to deposit it on the hummer's forehead. Works like a charm🤩 #lobeliacardinalis #nativeplants #bloomscrolling #Michigangardening #homegrownnationalpark

I went on a #nativeplants seed reconnaissance walk. Status: - Asclepias incarnata var. pulchra has mature plants flowering, no seeds yet - Baptisia tinctora has lots of seeds but almost entirely still green pods - There are so many Eupatorium sp. 🤩 🌿

RIP Ozzy

I just found the other milkweed species native to my area! This is Asclepias fascicularis (narrowleaf milkweed). I'm coming back this fall to check for seed pods... #nativeplants 🌿🌱

Almost done with the trench fence for protecting the chicks. Get chickens they said, it'll be fun they said. #backyardchickens

Wild bergamot from below. Every year I try to capture a few "from below" shots. It gives a different perspective from what we usually see, and it sure looks great on these partly cloudy days! #nativeplants #nativegarden #bloomscrolling

Elderberry flowers 🌱

One of my meadow pics got photobombed by a bee. #nativeplants 🌱

wow! love this so much! www.aswp.org/pittsburgh-e...

These are wineberries, which a lot of people think are native in Maryland (because they are everywhere), but they are actually invasive. 🌱 #nativeplants
