Penstemon strictus- Rocky Mountain Penstemon - seedling. One of many popping in my early spring garden. Eventually sends up stalks of purpley-blue blossoms that native bees love.

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi “kinnickinnik” - marvelous native groundcover plant with little evergreen leaves and tiny pink blooms in the spring. Plant native plants!

Voting is the foundation of our freedoms — and anti-voter attacks are deliberately targeting communities of color and low-income communities to silence their voices.
We celebrate the reintroduction of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act in the House this week 🎉
While federal agencies and policies have dragged their feet, we have turned to the state and local level to push for protection from toxic pesticides – and we’ve seen success across the country in banning and restricting their usage ⤵️

Leading finance institutions poured $3,330,000,000 into animal agriculture.
68% of that finance went to factory farming.
2% went to sustainable, small-scale farming.
