  1. After semi gloating we don't get box moth caterpillar around here last year they struck, and this year they're worse. Removing all the Buxus from the garden and keeping just one defiant box ball I can manage, I'll pick the caterpillars off and give them to the birds. #shrubs #box #hedge #garden

  3. China's 3,046-Kilometer "Great Green Wall" Has Transformed Its Largest Desert Into A Carbon Sink

    #China has a new #GreatWall but this one isn't built of stone and mortar to repel marauding invaders from the north. Instead, the “Great Green Wall” is a vast belt of #trees and #shrubs lining the bottom of its northern deserts, designed to halt the steady creep of #desertification. New research suggests this massive megaproject is already functioning as a vital #CarbonSink, helping to stabilize the local #environment.

    Located in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the #TaklamakanDesert is one of the driest places on Earth and the largest #desert in the country. It’s sometimes called the “Sea of Death” and “The Place of No Return” because of its desolate landscape, defined by towering dunes and a scarcity of #wildlife

  4. 🧵 2/3 #LilliAdventure on #Spiekeroog (25.09.2025)

    😺 This is me hiding and watching hikers. The humans went by and climbed a hill called Kohhukdüne. 14 cat lives ago (1738) at this spot, was no grass, no sand no Krähenbeere only water called #northsea That is difficult to embrace.

  5. #WellsME - Native #NewEngland #Shrubs

    Saturday, October 4, 2025,
    10:30am – 1:00pm

    "Join Boot Boutwell to explore the world of native New England shrubs in autumn!

    "Shrubs are a key part of New England landscapes. This program will take a close look at about ten common native New England shrubs, such as high bush blueberry, silky dogwood, sheep laurel, meadowsweet and steeplebush as well as a few non-native invasive shrubs. The program will focus on plant identification as well as fun and interesting #NaturalHistory. We’ll see a plant which colonial Americans used to make candles, a plant whose fruit sea captains used to bring on long voyages to help prevent scurvy, and a plant which the Chippewa used to restore balance in their lives. And as winter is coming and the leaves are going, we’ll also consider some winter identification characteristics. Children ages 10 and up are welcome to register if accompanied by an adult."
