Back to plants....McCargo established #WildSeedProject https://shop.wildseedproject.net/in 2014 to teach people to appreciate & grow native plant species helping to restore some of New England's lost biodiversity. Today WSP has a nascent horticultural center in Cape Elizabeth MA. Through its online store, the group offers seeds for more than 90 plant species native to Northeast. https://downeast.com/land-wildlife/this-woman-wants-to-destroy-your-lawn/ #biodiversity #nativeplants Leave the Leaves! #nativeseeds #birds #bees #butterflies no #lawns

I'm so excited! Tomorrow I get to show first graders how #seeds travel!
This has got to be one of my favorite sessions that culminates in them going outside to push #bulbs into the soil and spread #NativeSeeds into their pollinator patches.
Have to add this video we'll be using!

Nothing like seeing someone's else's reaction to exploding seed pods!
