I got to write about some amazing work from Dr. Chelsea Miller (U of Akron) and @holdenrestoration.bsky.social, who led a multi-botanic-garden project on spring ephemerals [pictured for your viewing pleasure]. Volunteer #communityscientists tracked when wildflowers leaf out, bloom, and fruit.

Photo of the cover of Public Garden, the journal of the American Public Gardens Association, volume 40, issue 2, 2025. One of the headlines is "climate change research."

My latest story is out in Public Garden magazine! Got my copy in the mail just last week.

It's a feature on how ecologists and #communityscientists teamed up to study #climatechange and #phenology at wildflower gardens at botanic gardens across the country.

Ever seen a #wildcat on your security camera? Submit it to our sightings map! Sightings from #communityscientists help supplement our data collection. We can then evaluate puma & bobcat activity & potential conflict areas to better coexist. Check it out at bapp.org
