Some of the fall colors in my yard. Red osier dogwood & tuliptree. #NativePlants #nativegarden #autumn #nature

The Point Beach State Forest pollinator garden. Lots of native plants. Oh, and an animal den in the garden. I'm thinking badger. #NativePlants #NativeGarden

#RoyalRoadsUniversity recently unveiled its new #Indigenous #MedicineGarden – a project designed to give #students and #community members a chance to learn about #plants that the #Lekwungen speaking peoples have used since time immemorial.

Solara Goldwynn, Royal Roads' farm and #FoodSystems lead, and Kenneth Elliot, #EthnoBotanist and #CowichanElder, chose the garden’s colourful mix of plants, most of which grow naturally in the traditional territories of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples (southern #VancouverIsland and the #SanJuanIslands and #GulfIslands

Today #InTheGarden :

Sunflowers are blooming, amaranth is going to seed, and corn is tasseling.

Coincidentally, all of these plants are native to the Americas.

You can always get into the argument of when a species becomes naturalized / native.

This time around, it's our garden, not one from a rented house, so I am much more invested in making a garden I will absolutely love.

Will every single plant be native? No.

Will most plants be? You bet your ass I'll do my best to make sure that's the case 💚 👍 👩‍🌾 #NativeGarden

Me after find out the Dutch government has put out a list of endangered native trees & shrubs:
😲 Immediately checks out every species for my area 🤩

(Designing a native garden here in The Netherlands is quite complicated; a resource like this is very much welcomed) #NativeGarden

Growing a long hedge in the backyard for habitat. I have 3 of these shrubs that may get 15’ tall in time. American Cranberry #nativegarden

#Introduction
So I am new to Beige Party, but not new to the Fediverse. I decided it would be prudent to have a 2nd account for when my other instance is going through “shenanigans.” But I also thought it would be nice to have a place, on this here #Mastodon, where I could maybe have a little respite from the overwhelming seriousness of life. So this account will be about silliness and #whimsy and #art and #knitting socks and #crocheting colorful blankets and planting a #NativeGarden and #BloomScrolling and favorite #tv shows and #movies and #writing and the poetry of #SongLyrics.
I live in the #Midwest with my husband and my son in a #MidCentury house where we desperately run to fix the breaking or broken or falling apart thing before the next thing breaks or falls apart. (We have grand plans for this house which includes #chickens and gardens and #compost heaps, but so far the only thing we’ve done is paint the den chartreuse.)

I've seen a lot of folks recently posting photos of their #monarchbutterfly caterpillar enclosures and most look like the enclosures are indoors.

This is a #PSA to help get the word out (please boost!):

Indoor raised #monarchs are more likely to develop and spread disease to wild populations, AND are significantly less likely to successfully fly south for the winter.

"Being exposed to an indoor environment with artificial light, constant temperature and top choice of milkweed provided by their captors they do not develop the environmental cues needed for pre-migratory behaviors."

Please please do your part to help boost populations the way nature intended, with planting milkweed and doing what you can to protect food sources monarchs need, fully outdoors. Plant #native (to your area) nectar sources and please spread the word to others so their efforts benefit the ones we're trying to save.

I had to take a picture through my kitchen window yesterday afternoon because the post-rain light combined with all of the plants my spouse placed around the back yard to make this small scene look like a frame from a Ghibli movie. It’s really lovely back there. #NativeGarden #NJ #SouthJersey
