I spent my afternoon in the dirt yesterday placing these pollinator plants - all grown from locally foraged seeds here in Massachusetts. 45 out of 50 in the ground, and I simply ran out of energy! Hopefully they’ll shape up to be something beautiful in the years to come …

My false indigo really should be focusing energy on rooting down into her new home instead of making flowers, but I'll let it slide.

Spent the early afternoon helping the local parks department plant trees and collect trash at one of our parks.

Also got unofficial permission to plant natives in the parks 🤣 It sounds like the budget for our parks department isn’t high, so they’re happy to take free help as long as I put in the work to make sure it’s native and not invasive.

Attention shopping center landscape contractors: can we please do better than using the same five plants in every single parking lot landscape? There are plenty of tough, dependable native alternatives to:
🚫Burning Bush euonymus
🚫Japanese holly
🚫Nandina
🚫Loriope

Such as:
✅Winterberry holly
✅Itea
✅Big bluestem/Little bluestem (Andropogon/Schizachyrium)
✅Beautyberry
✅Fothergilla (Witch alder)

Weird how we evolve over time.

When I was a kid I wanted a perfect dense green turf lawn.

Last few years I've been a mostly "I only plant food" kinda guy.

Now I'm obsessed with our plans to replace a large chunk of our front lawn with a native ornamental garden.

Wow! Callery pear, also known as Bradford pear or Cleveland Select, sales ended in Ohio this month because it is so invasive.

One of my all-time favorites since I was 3 or so and my mom showed me what they were.

Agastache rugosa in the winter. These blooms were covered in bumblebees this summer, it was so fun to watch. And now it provides some winter interest with its dried flowers.
