Great episode!! 🤩

No worries. Thanks for responding. Will look through my seedling resources bookmarks after work (they're on my personal laptop) 🐝🦋

@wearegonnafindout.bsky.social - do you have any pictures of the plants / leaves as baby seedlings? I think I have some, but they aren't that big for id'ing.

Hahaha I've got that Design group in my yard too! ,🤣

What is it?

<brain exploding> I love how each new thing I learn from you all and your sharing of knowledge about native plant restorations and communities check all the boxes for "it seems like common sense now" after I have absorbed the data/research/article. Thanks for sharing such awesome info!! 💚🌿

I can't remember if you can filter for shade, but this is a good resource to start with - put in your zip code and see options for your area

Spring native flowers are showing up! Virginia bluebells, spring beauty, and violet. Feeding the bees! 🐝🌿

Eeek, my mistake on the species ... Amelanchier laevis - Allegheny serviceberry.

Serviceberry (Amelanchier canadensis), very young, with new white blooms.

My Amelanchier canadensis bloomed 🤩 I just planted it in the fall. So excited to see the early spring blooms, and that my hard work is paying off!!

Plant a native plant or tree to start helping the butterflies and moths' recovery. Even 1 new one helps! Or Volunteer in a native plant garden if you don't have land/space of your own.

Good news 🦋

Great episode!

Smudge the cat, who is mostly concerned just with what's going on in his own house.

Folks, I don't intend to post about every single horrible thing that's happening at the moment because I'm not a direct news source and also because my mental health has an upper limit. Don't confuse lack of obsessive news updating for lack of concern or lack of personal action. Also, here's a cat.

I understand. I saw a lot of unrelated political things posted there last night.
Other than #NativePlants is there a way to "follow" the starter pack?
Thanks!!

I would like to be added to this starter pack please. I'm looking forward to my 3rd year of adding biodiversity to my property!
