"I will destroy you, and I will nourish your replacement with the corpses of your brethren."

Me, addressing the invasive species in my garden, as I mulch the newly planted natives.

Garden progress update: since it feels like rain the kids and I hussled to get another butterfly garden bed filled and planted in the front yard (Randy and the kids bought me a native butterfly garden from the Muskegon Conservation District with local plants grown at Weesie Brothers Garden Center in Montague for Mother's Day ❤). We also made another Oriole orange feeder for our hungry guys since they keep scaring the hummingbirds away from the feeder. In the "people garden" the carrots and radishes are thriving thanks to my husband's inventive idea to plop the green house directly over the raised bed during the final frost. And in the bee garden by the road everything is loving all this rain and has grown several inches. The bird bath we made from a bowl that belonged to Randy's grandmother is working well; we have an additional hanging bird bath from Whitehall Products on the feeding station but the birds seem to enjoy having two. #doctorsinthehouse #garden #butterflygarden #beegarden #savethepollinators #plantnative #shoplocal #meadowsnotlawns #gardeningforwildlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CAX7eHdAxaM/?igshid=10fweokqzx4b2

When Flowers Listen: How Buzzing Bees Unlock a Secret in Nature

Have you ever thought about what flowers hear? It might sound like a strange question, but new research suggests that plants aren’t as passive as we once believed. In fact, they may be far more aware of their world and their pollinators than we ever imagined. A groundbreaking study presented this week by Professor Francesca Barbero and her team at the University of Turin has shown that certain…

Thank you to @riverberryfarm for the donation of plants to fill in some gaps in our pollinator sanctuary. Their donation of native plants will be appreciated by pollinators for years. Thank you to all the volunteers helping us get the plants in the ground! #PlantNative #PlantForPollinators #Bee #Aster #RiverBerryFarm #VermontWildlife #gratitude (at Birds of Vermont Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjabQ_Ou51I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
