Something to be aware of here in Canada — our new PM is in lockstep with the Trumpian authoritarian playbook. This is not okay.

Last month, my father died. Growing up with him we played video games and chess, listened to music, and watched countless movies and TV shows. He had a knack for finding diamonds in the rough when it came to media, and I'm grateful for (that part of) his influence on my life. R.I.P. Papa Bear ❤️

It's ✨ Saskatoon ✨ season in the Pacific Northwest, and I'm wildly pleased to be so near the forest.

#Arboreality by Rebecca Campbell of whereishere.ca has softly changed my life. I've spent >10 years learning about climate change, regenerative land management, and what awaits civilization as we know it, and this book helped me feel seen. Wildly depressing, but I can't recommend it enough. ❤️

Wandering through the West Coast woods, and finding inspiration everywhere. ❤️

My love of reading is strongly link to this man…

Happy belated Earth Day, everyone. This is Loudon Park in #Nanaimo BC, and we're encouraging the @cityofnanaimo.bsky.social reconsider their plan to cut down these beautiful ~80 year old fir trees. Peaceful protest video found here: youtu.be/vW-YKZKGGTs #saveloudonpark

Thanks so much to everyone who came out for the invasive species cleanup this past Saturday! We got two massive piles of Ivy, Daphne, and an entire Holly tree off the land, making more room for the native understory to establish and thrive. ✨

A bunch of organizations coming together on March 22 for an invasive species cleanup party here in #Nanaimo - swing by if you're in town!

🎉 Excited to announce that Zack Simon, founder of Patchwork Ecosystem, has joined the board of the NCAH: @nanaimoclimatehub.bsky.social 🎉 Here's to working for greater climate resilience and grassroots action here in #Nanaimo #BC.

Nope nope nope. @bsky.app , this is NOT what people are flocking to you for. Please read the room — so many of us are trying to get away from obligatory data mining, tech bros and biased AI enforcement.

Design Showcase This was a #landscape-design from 2024, and the one that earned us our #permaculture certification. The clients had an exposed site, mostly turf, and wanted a more naturalist, cottage garden aesthetic. We recommended a small #orchard bolstered by #native #berries and #wildflowers.

Close-up #Photo of a frozen sewer grate after a thaw and refreeze here in #Nanaimo, #BC. It reminds me of some alien, sci-fi landscape. ❤️

Design Showcase The client needed a border bed revamp after discovering how existing plants were #toxic for their #dogs. We filled the space with #Saskatoon, Oval-leaf #Blueberry, Evergreen #Huckleberry, Coastal #Strawberry, #Kinnikinnick, Blackcap #Raspberry, #ferns, and #native #wildflowers. ♥

Design Showcase "Blackwood Commons" was a 2021 #concept #design for a #park in #victoria #bc responding to the sudden need for more beautiful public meeting spaces. The project never broke ground, but received praise from collaborators, neighbours and city staffers. It's one we're still proud of.

Invasive species clean-up day at Morrell Sanctuary here in #Nanaimo , #BC . Huge thanks to the #VIU Eco Club for organizing this, and sanctuary volunteers like Bob who gave us a crash course on identifying noxious invasives.

Our recent presentation alongside @nanaimoclimatehub.bsky.social is now available as an article on our website! . We'd love to get feedback from anyone versed in #biology , #ecology , #permaculture , or #landscaping and keep the conversation evolving. patchworkecosystem.com/urban-permac...
