This year I tried my hand at growing native plants along with medicinal herbs. I winter sowed a majority of them, and had some great success but definitely learning as I go! For pollinator month I’ve discounted all of my plants listed on my Etsy site. Check them out and let me know if you have any questions! Happy planting 🌱

It’s been a while but here’s a cute landscaping install I’ve done recently 🌱 I love providing variety, unique, and native plants for my customers. Keeping in mind flowering plants for every season. Native plants are not only beneficial for the environment but make pruning and maintenance for the homeowner none existent! If this is something you’ve been interested in- please send me a message! I love drawing up designs even if I’m not the one installing them. Always keeping the customer’s preferences in mind. Our potential is unlimited 💚 : hostas, hydrangea, viburnum (native), fern (native), geum (native), heuchera coral bells (native), astilbe (native), plumbago (native), hypericum, liriope (customer already had on site to incorporate)

This is called the Oniscidae. You may find them under a brick or a damp object. You may have felt disgusted and wondered why they exist in nature. Well, let me tell you, the oniscidae , better known as cochineal, is a subgroup of isopod crustaceans whose function is to remove harmful heavy metals from the earth such as mercury, cadmium and lead. They contribute to the cleansing of soil and groundwater to reaffirm the wisdom of nature. Do not damage them or spray pesticides!

Todays harvest: comfrey, yarrow, mullein, skullcap, anise hyssop, & wormwood (ignore the nettle seeds- they’re dropping everywhere 🤪). Working on getting bulk dried herbs setup on my Etsy shop for all to enjoy! Stay tuned this week for a lot of medicinal plants ready for a new home. Happy planting 🌱

Getting a start on seed harvesting 🌱 stinging nettle is great because it catches the mature seeds for you! I’ll let them dry and store in a paper bag until next season.

Lady bug larvae 🐞 if you see these friends in your garden let them do the work!! A single ladybug will eat up to 5,000 aphids in their lifetime (and eat the most during the larval stages). They also munch on scale, mealy bugs, boil and corn ear worms. Their larvae looks totally different than their adult counterparts so don’t be alarmed when you first see them!
