  1. If you're in PNW & love sunflowers but have limited gardening space - I would recommend the native perennial #WoolySunflower aka #OregonSunshine. It's a miniature native sunflower - very easy to grow from seeds. They do well in pots or in the ground. Pollinators love their bright, cheery flowers 💛🐝💛🌼

    I know I’m preaching to the choir here but gardening doesn’t have to be an uphill battle. You don’t have to grow fertilizer gobbling / pest magnet plants like tomatoes and zucchini.

    You can grow weeds and #NativePlants and your harvest will be bountiful, stress-free and nutrient dense. Not to mention, it will actually save you money. 💚

    The current administration is gutting the national forestry service, logging/mining public lands and destroying our ecosystem by de-regulating pesticides in agriculture. This could lead to ecosystem collapse and the collapse of agriculture.

    The website below has resources, tutorials and community networking to plant #NativePlants where you are in an effort to protect our ecosystem.

    Pink purslane, trailing blackberry, wild strawberry native plants, growing out of a fallen, moss covered logs. Behind the logs, there's lots of vanilla leaf, licorice & lady ferns, thimbleberry, huckleberry, salmonberry, Oregon grape, currants, Kinnikinnick & salal plants.
    So much edible native plants in a small portion of a forest 💚

  12. Bulletin #7151, Landscaping for #Butterflies in #Maine (PDF)

    This fact sheet was developed by: Nancy Coverstone, Extension educator, Jim Dill, Extension pest management specialist, and Lois Berg Stack, Extension ornamental horticulture specialist.

    Table of Contents:

    - The Life Cycle of Butterflies
    - Common Maine Butterflies
    - How to Create Habitat that Entices Butterflies
    - “Wild” Places Attract Butterflies
    - #NativePlants Support Butterflies
    - Design Tips for a Successful #ButterflyGarden
    - Nectar Sources for Butterflies and Moths
    - Larval Food Sources
    - Further Readings

    "Butterflies are beautiful insects, and they are also an important part of the ecosystem. In their search for nectar, they spread pollen from one flower to another and help ensure seed for new generations of plants. They also recycle nutrients and are prey for many species of birds, spiders and small mammals. Gardening and landscaping can create or enhance habitats for butterflies so they may survive and thrive. Whether your yard is in a city, suburb or rural community, you can make it a haven for butterflies.

    Butterflies belong to the insect order Lepidoptera, along with moths and skippers. All species of butterflies in Maine, of which there are more than one hundred, have four wings covered with small scales. The butterfly families in Maine are #swallowtails (Papilionidae), whites and sulphurs (Pieridae), gossamer-wings (Lycaenidae), brush-footed butterflies (Nymphalidae), #monarchs (Danaidae), and arctics and satyrs (Satyridae), which includes the endangered #KatahdinArctic. Skippers (#Hesperiidae) have characteristics of both butterflies and moths.

    When developing a landscape for butterflies, first consider butterfly species present in your area and their preferred habitats. Then consider plants suited to your climate and your backyard habitat. Assess what your landscape already provides, and add to that. Each butterfly species has a preference or need for a particular habitat type, such as meadow, woods, woodland edges or marshes. Also, some species are specialists, while others are generalists regarding food sources. The habitat preference as well as plants you provide will determine your success in attracting a particular butterfly species. An identification field guide will prove helpful."
