  1. Dusted off the camera today. It wasn't too hot, the sun was out, and my #bumblebee friends were digging the #WildHydrangea flowers! I'm glad I gave them more space and light last year -- it paid off this year!

  9. Novice #gardener reveals 'stunning' one-year transformation: 'For a first timer that's excellent'

    Story by Simon Sage, February 7, 2025

    "A novice gardener showed off their progress over at r/#GardeningUK, and the results were quite inspiring.

    "'I took the two sycamores down (still need to get the trunks out) as they took 70% of the sunlight as can be seen in the first picture and are way too large for this sized garden. The remaining apple tree is much healthier already and I will replace the two trunks with an appropriate sized tree once the trunks are down and a new back fence installed. … I can't believe how much #wildlife has come into the garden and there's a constant low hum from the #bees when it's not raining…"

    "It might seem a little sad to cut down a big tree, but the added access to sunlight seems to have benefited the rest of the garden. Sometimes it's possible to make up for this monopoly on sunlight with strategic thinning instead of completely removing a tree.

    "The original poster had only been working on this yard for a year, and it's their first time gardening. Their point about hearing bees again speaks to one of the major benefits of #rewilding your yard. #Pollinators need a rich, diverse #ecosystem, and upgrading your yard with #NativeFlowers provides just that. Despite their importance to food systems, pollinators are under constant threat. They need whatever help we can provide.

    "The elaborate root systems of gardens like this also massively improve soil health, especially when it comes to preventing soil erosion. If you're interested in making a similar upgrade, dig into our guide on rewilding your yard.

    "Commenters were blown away by the work the original poster had put in."

    #NativePlant in #PacificNorthwest regions. We've used this plant at several habitat/ecological restoration areas - across Southern #VancouverIsland. It is an excellent plant for riparian revegetation & pollinators love their bright pink, tiny flowers too.

    #PNW #Indigenous peoples use the plant for making brooms & for hanging seafood to cook.

    It grows in almost any soil conditions, even very dry & gravelly soil but prefers boggy/wet areas.

  15. Showy roadside wildflower displays along the Lake county Napa line in the hot interior coast ranges. These are called farewell-to-spring because they bloom at the tail end of spring. #bloomscrolling #NativeFlowers

  16. Got a tip that the grounds crew at a local school district was going to spray herbicide and kill a patch of milkweed, joe pye weed, and other native wildflowers. So we took shovels and tried to save some to plant in our yard.

  21. Thyme-leaved Speedwell (Veronica serpyllifolia)

    Thyme-leaves Speedwell is another naturalized import from Europe/Asia that we found this morning growing in a grassy path. Too nice to overlook and my soul is saved by the fact that native insects happily exploit the flowers.
    It really is tiny, those flowers are a bare 6cm across. The plant grows in full sunlight, tolerates partial shade, and thrives in a moist environment during the spring.
