  2. Lance-leaf #coreopsis in my #Atlanta backyard, native plant earning its keep. Tiny spider riding a silk thread just off the stem, if you look close: that one's the secondary subject, the bloom didn't know. See ALT for the rest. #gardening #nativeplants #pollinatorgarden #bloomscrolling 🌼

  3. Oh, this is too good not to share for an early #SolarPunkSunday ... I just heard about this on the local news. Wow!!!

    #ResilientYards in #SouthPortlandME

    "The goal of Resilient Yards is to continue to promote landcare practices that bolster South Portland’s community and #ecosystem #resilience. Volunteer coaches offer personalized guidance, advice, and support to South Portland residents to transition their yards into resilient landscapes. Once paired together, coaches and participants discuss site needs, set up scheduling, and install gardens at each site. We provide each yard with free #compost, #mulch, and a set of 8 #NativePlants.

    Native plants require less maintenance, support #biodiversity, and build #ecosystem #resilience. The program also builds #SocialResilience, as South Portland neighbors connect through sharing advice and resources.

    Program Impact

    Since we launched our inaugural 100 Resilient Yards program in 2023, we have helped 230 Resilient Yards participants, who, with the support of 65 volunteer coaches, have planted a total of 1,352 native #pollinator plants in yards across South Portland."

  4. How to Create a #PollinatorGarden with Children: Fun Family Activities to Attract Pollinators and Foster a #LoveForNature

    by Chloe Wilson, February 12, 2025·

    Excerpt: "Another fantastic idea is to create a 'pollinator parade.' Have your children dress up as their favorite pollinators, and then march around the garden! They can flap their arms like butterflies or buzz like bees. This playful activity not only entertains but also helps them remember the importance of these creatures.

    "You can incorporate storytelling activities by making up tales about the flowers and the pollinators that visit them. Kids can act out these stories, which fosters their imagination and creativity. This can be a wonderful bonding experience for the whole family.

    "Don’t forget about seasonal activities. In spring, you can plant seeds together. In summer, observe which flowers attract the most bees. In fall, collect seeds from your flowers to plant next year. This creates a year-round learning experience that keeps kids engaged in nature."

  5. New growth could be appearing in the next few weeks, depending on coming weather ( a few warm days coming, then more rain and snow...lol) but meantime last year's growth is still delivering in the Xeric/Native Beds (includes some near natives and exotics that fit the habitats) including a cute (very ephemeral) melt pool and a patch of #MarginalGarden #garden

  6. My #DragonLilies are developing new foliage & new stalks have sprouted. They're also known as vampire lily & voodoo lily; in Greece, they're known as #drakondia. #DracunculusVulgaris helps with attracting more pollinators in cultivated gardens with it's unpleasant rotting meat smell, when it flowers.

    Capture the buzz of a summer garden with this charming macro photograph. The image centers on a vibrant Purple Coneflower (Echinacea), its soft lavender-pink petals drooping gracefully around the spiky, rusty-orange cone.

    The real stars of the show are the two visitors sharing a moment: a fuzzy honeybee resting on the petals and a tiny hoverfly perched right next to it on the cone.

  12. #PacificAster is one of my fave #NativePlants to use for #rewilding & for attracting more #pollinators.

    It's a small, hardy, beautiful purple #NativeWildflower which is found from BC to California. It's tolerant of many different coastal habitats, from ocean sand dunes to rocky outcrops to salt marshes to grasslands to forests. Great plant to use for soil erosion & slopes stabilization work. It has a deep, clumpy, extensive fibrous root system - don't grow beside plants with weaker root systems.

    Pacific aster is extremely easy to grow in it's native grow zones, across coastal PNW areas. You'll love their long bloom time, from late May into late October. It provides pollen sources for pollinators in Fall. After they stop blooming, they'll produce fluffy seed heads, full of prolific wind-born #seeds. Snip off tops of seed heads to save them. I store mine in airtight jars & share a lot of them too.
