Planted russian oregano in my yard ten years ago. My yard is now Russian oregano. I donβt know if all oregano spreads this way, but gardeners be warned. Itβs a permanent addition. Good thing pollinator insects LOOOOVE it.

Worked on #sowing more #CoverCrop #seeds for #SoilRemediation & #rewilding our yards. I'll update later on the plant seeds sowed - pretty big list. Both of these blends are #beneficial for #PollinatorGardens too. Many are also #edible for humans & wildlife. Sourced from #SmallFarmers βπ©βπΎ

#MarshInWinter. The #Marsh is currently the domain of #Beavers, #Muskrats, and #SwampSparrows, Probably the last MIW image for the season. Spring has come early this year, so the #Volunteer work group is shifting to invasive plant control and expanding the #NativeGardens and #PollinatorGardens at #OxleyNatureCenter. Much work to to

We have had very good luck attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with salvias, lavenders, agastache, and hollyhocks.

We have found that pollinators love hollyhocks, and we are rewarded with seeds.

We learned that the male bumblebees are sent out of the nest at the end of the summer, and they sleep in the flowers. Males do not have pollen pouches on their hind legs.

So I'm engaging in making #PollinatorGardens slash #WildlifeGardens in a series of very limited spaces. And I want to support others in doing the same. I'm always looking for ideas and resources, always trying to figure out how best to balance diversity and abundance within strict limits.
