#Lichens I explained to a neighbor that lichens were not killing his tree, but the bare twigs provided good light for photosynthesis. He's not alone in thinking the lichens are causing harm to trees, so read "Lichen: a three-way symbiotic organism." greengardeningmatters.blogspot.com/2020/11/lich...

"We didn’t plan to specifically attract #bumblebees. Indeed, the abundance of #butterflies has tripled and the number of red-listed #bird species has gone from 11 to 17. But bumblebees are great indicators of ecosystem health." #rewilding #scotland www.rewildingmag.com/rewilding-de...

If you discover a hibernating bumblebee while digging in your garden or allotment this winter, try to avoid disturbing her, and loosely re-cover her so she can hit the snooze button until spring. More advice from @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social at www.bumblebeeconservation.org #SaveTheBees #nature 🐝

50+ volunteers came out to prep & plant sidewalk gardens in NoPa! With support from NOPNA (North of the Panhandle Neighborhood Association), we removed over 1,100 sq ft of concrete & replaced it with #nativeplants 🌺. We’re so grateful to NOPNA & to all the neighbors who made this project happen💚!

Escobaria vivipara (formerly classed as Coryphantha vivipara). Also known as Spinystar or Beehive cactus. It has a hardy frost tolerance and can survive a wide range of habitats across Mexico, the U.S., and Canada, making it one of only 4 cacti species in the Canada! #nativeplants #botany

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 mins between feeding. These amazing pollinating insects are being hit hard by widespread habitat loss. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝 #SaveTheBees #nature

Bloomscrolling is SO MUCH better than doomscrolling!! The Beebs is one of my favorites in the garden, although I think I say that about a lot of plants!🌱 #monardafistulosa, native beebalm, in the mint family always looks like it is glowing! You should definitely plant some! #nativeplants #bugsky

You can also incorporate logs in your #garden design and grow native grasses and sedges to give them shelter … lawns do not give them the shelter they need. #NativePlants #gardening #wildlife #nature #wildflowers #flowers
