Want to see more bees and butterflies in your garden?
💚💚💚
Planting native species is the best way to attract them. Native plants have grown here since the last ice age, and many native bees and butterflies depend on the specific host plants they evolved with. Species such as mason and mining bees, along with butterflies like pearl crescents, skippers, and checkerspots, need these plants to survive.
🐝🐝🐝
Native plants also support birds. About 96% of songbirds feed caterpillars to their young, and those caterpillars depend on butterflies and moths laying eggs on the right native host plants.
Start learning about native plants and grow them to support bees, butterflies, moths, and birds.
🐥🐣🐥
Visit our website or other online resources to learn more and stop by our DA gardens to see native plants growing.

Do you know about Seed Dahlias?
🌸🌸🌸
The common way to grow dahlias is from tubers which produce a replica of a specific variety. If you have grown dahlias you know that if you leave the bloom on the plant it will open to the flower disc, containing the seeds. Because dahlias possess an amazing 8 sets of chromosomes their genetic makeup is complex. Every seed is a unique "hybrid" further complicated by pollination. If you start a seed from your favorite dinnerplate you will get something entirely different!
🌸🌸🌸
Dahlia breeders have come up with stable mixes that you can start from seed. Within a range they have some similarities. They are usually openfaced attracti ng pollinators. They produce a small cluster of tubers that can be overwintered. If cut when the bud has just opened, they will last a few days.
🌸🌸🌸
Halei and I have spent part of our harvesting time scoping them out. Here are some of our favorites.

Order some for your garden! They are in our Native Plant Store under annuals.

We received the backorders of plants that were not ready in mid May.

We have added additional Butterfly Milkweed, Smooth Aster and Wild Ginger to the inventory

The Robins made a nest in a bin in our hoophouse.
🐣🐥🐣
The chicks emerged the day after Mother's Day. We have been entertained the last two weeks by the mom & pop and the chicks which were just a few feet away from where we set up a bumping up station.
🐣🐥🐣
Yesterday the last fledgling left the nest!
They will spend the next 10 to 15 days learning to fly and develop their flight muscles. They will mostly be on the ground. A very dangerous time indeed.

We were delighted to host Defer's Girl Scout meeting this week.
🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
What fun, they had the gardens all to themselves! Exploring and having a great time. Tom gave a talk about DA and then introduced an adorable baby possum he is caring for until it becomes big enough to release into a wild setting.
🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️
Tom's raised many possums and shared his knowledge. Possums can get a bad rap. He shared that unlike raccoons, dogs and cats, possums are unlilkely to spread diseases that can affect us. They are also the only native marsulpial (pouched mammal).
If you are interested in raising this little guy, let us know!

We're adding a new plant to our Native Plant store! Astrantia major, Masterwort
This plant is part of our cut-flower gardens and is not a native.
We get many questions every year regarding this long blooming beauty.
💜💜💜
It loves partial shade and a woodland type setting. It is extremely well behaved and forms clumps that expand slowly. It is a long lasting bloom in the vase and also in the garden. It blooms in June and provides us fresh cuts for the vase for a few weeks. For the rest of the summer the flowers stay looking nice in the garden.
💜💜💜
Any orders that are now placed in our Native Plant Store can schedule a pickup date when the order is placed!

Everyone who placed a preorder for Native Plants received a pickup email this morning! If you did not receive yours, be sure to check your spam folder.
💜💜💜
The following plants that we propagate or are sourced from other growers will not be ready for pickup until June 1st. All of these plants are grown naturally in Michigan weather. Northern Blazing Star, Joe Pye W**d, Blue Lobelia, Common Milkweed, Wild Senna, Wild Petunia, Vernonia Prairie Princess, Showy Goldenrod
💚💚💚
It has been a slow roll towards warm weather this spring, which looks like it is about to change this weekend and plants that emerge in late spring should really start to grow.
Any orders placed starting today, can schedule their pickup when they order!
💚💜💚
We are extremely happy with the number of new and returning customers that want to support wildlife - birds, bees and other critters that have always made their home here!
