  1. #MaineAudubon Webinar - #Serviceberry

    Wednesday May 6, 5:30-7 pm
    Led by Andrew Tufts

    Free program, donations encouraged. Registration required.

    "Serviceberry marks a key seasonal transition in Maine, blooming as migratory #birds and #pollinators arrive. This webinar examines serviceberry’s role in forest edges, open woodlands, and rocky landscapes, and how these ecologically rich habitats support #biodiversity. Participants will also learn how edge communities translate into parks, trails, and residential landscapes.

    Natural Communities & Seasonal Change is a three-part spring learning series that combines monthly webinars with guided field experiences to explore #Maine’s #NativePlant communities through the lens of seasonal #phenology. The series focuses on how #NativeTrees and shrubs signal ecological change, support #wildlife, and shape both natural and human landscapes. Participants will build skills in observation, #PlantIdentification, and reading the landscape as spring unfolds."

  2. wow! It's spring and the #serviceberry I almost killed has a few blooms on it and the #blueberry and #elderberry bushes are blooming as well. The #kale and #collards my bride planted are bolting because of the heat. The #dogwood is popping!

  3. Virtual Event - #BookDiscussion of “The #Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World”

    February 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

    "Join us for a virtual book discussion of 'The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World,' by #RobinWallKimmerer.

    Free. Registration Required."

    About the author:
    "As Indigenous scientist and author of #BraidingSweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from #IndigenousWisdom and the plant world to #reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, #interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, 'Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.' "

  5. Serviceberry tree blossoms. It’s a lovely little tree that I planted a couple years ago. I don’t give it any special treatment. Probably should water it more often. #lowmaintenance #serviceberry. #nature #gardening #landscaping

  6. I preordered Robin Wall Kimmerer's new book "The Serviceberry" ages ago and forgot all about it. What a nice surprise to find on my doorstep. "Braiding Sweetgrass" is one of my all-time favourite books, so I look forward to digging into this one. @indigenousauthors #TwoEyedSeeing #Ecology #CNF #Indigenous #science #RobinWallKimmerer #ServiceBerry #Bookstodon #botany

  7. Happy #EarthDay to those who celebrate.😜 the creeks are slowly filling as the snow disappears. I see emerging buds and leaves on #serviceberry and #currant bushes. We are in our mid #spring beige colorway that will soon be so #green that it raises my cellular vibrations!
