  1. Small creeks are essential life feeders in forests. This small creek is a part of our local watershed. It is small, yet mighty with it's life-source; sustaining life for many cedar trees & the plants that grow on forest understory. Creeks need protection as much as big rivers do 💧🌲💧

  6. Two different footpath trails - leading out from the native plant garden. The rock steps trail leads to the short boardwalk that connects to a dock, over the lake, that has seating. The gravel path leads you to the lake loop trail, across the wetlands/marshes (prime frogs/turtles spotting area), over a long boardwalk that connects one side of the lake to the other. *In really rainy times - the trails on other side of lake get flooded out.

  11. My grape soda scented purple iris plants are now blooming in both front & backyards. Multiple new blooms, daily 💜😊
    They smell just like grape soda/grape HubbaBubba chewing gum.

  16. #SwanLakeNatureSanctuary - the #NatureHouse. This is where I worked out of in my late 20s, as a nature interpreter/educator for public school field trips for a few months. I taught out of the nature house, an outdoor gazebo & on the central dock at the nature sanctuary.
    There's been several upgrades to the nature house & to the nature sanctuary, since the early 2000s.

  17. 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 💛🐝💛🌼
