Today is one of my favorite holidays! Here‘s my latest blog post in celebration of the occasion https://t.co/df5aQbE92B #HappyGroundhogDay#Imbolc#wildlife
In Rhode Island #401gives weekend is now underway. I’m supporting my local Land Conservation Trust which protects & preserves some of the very last amazing wild spaces in the East Bay. https://t.co/dsk6SOKMlN
The flowers and the bees are both quite confused. Buzzing crocus lighting up the warm winter landscape in my Rhode Island garden for today’s #FlowerReport#Flowers#pollinatorgarden
The blooms of my winter Witch Hazel signal opening day ahead of schedule for the 2023 season in my Rhode Island #PollinatorGarden. These winter blooming beauties offer emergency nectar for bees that may wake up on unusually warm winter days. #FlowerReport#Flowers
Today is #NationalBirdDay but birds need more than a hashtag. They need more native plant rich habitat 🐦 Less pesticide use 🐛 and more people who care about the 3 Billion birds lost in the last 1/2 century! Thx for coming to my Ted Talk! #plantnativeplants
Not much blooming here in chilly New England for today’s Sunday #FlowerReport so here’s the wreath I made using native plants gathered from my gardens for a bit of holiday cheer! #Yule#holidaydecor#PlantNativePlants
He knows if you’ve been good or bad … Yes, I really do hang a #Krampus Wreath next to my door - Keeping holiday folklore alive and keeping neighbors wondering. That’s my Sunday #FlowerReport for #Krampusnacht Eve.
Thanks @alyssaharad & weekly #FlowerReport folks for bringing a ray of sunshine to each & every week. Keep that beauty persisting in some form. I’ll be at my Native Plant Emporium bringing more life to my corner of the world. Come visit, even if virtually. #GardeningTwitter
Pineapple Sage still burning bright in my Rhode Island Pollinator Garden. It’s a great late season nectar source and as an added bonus can be muddled with lime as a base for a perfect pineapple mojito. That’s my Sunday #FlowerReport with a twist! 🍍🍸
The Sunday #FlowerReport is my favorite part of Twitter. @EveLittlepage so aptly called it a Sage Smudge for the Soul before the week ahead. In honor of that sentiment here’s a montage of Sage from my late summer pollinator garden.
Every Sunday on the #FlowerReport thread we celebrate the persistence of beauty and the beauty of persistence. And I can’t imagine a better image than this lovely #flower springing up from the stone on my patio to symbolize this powerful message.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Don’t be too quick to deadhead the flowers in your garden, there’s a purpose to those spent blooms. Goldfinch on my faded bee balm for this week’s #FlowerReport#wildlifephotography#gardening
