I’m really torn. I have working to make my yard friendly to wildlife, HOWEVER I draw the line at a raccoon latrine! #nativeplants #gardenforwildlife

A cluster of tiny Forget-Me-Not flowers currently blooming in the front garden. They are small, five-petalled blooms with minute white centres, nearly dwarfed by their often enormous leaves. The leaves in this photo are smaller than usual, with pointed ends. Photo taken by tam’s partner.

#Forget-Me-Not …sometimes the smallest #flowers say more than all one’s words ~💞

For the first time in my life, I saw a monarch butterfly yesterday when I was working in my garden. This is what happens when you plant #nativeplants.

Rip out your lawns! #Gardenforwildlife!

(Ignore the stilt grass—I ripped it out.)

A bowl of mixed berries (aggregates of drupelets, botanically speaking) of Northern Dewberry (Rubus flagellaris), American Red Raspberries (R. strigosus), and Black Raspberries (R. occidentalis)

Two guys kneeling, one with a dog and a Rubus cane, and one with a bowl of blackberries and a Red Raspberry beverage. It's me, Eli (L) with Ezra (the doggie director) and Niladri (R). The bar is visible (R), and there's some recording equipment in the background.

Ezra, panting, and our wives (Emily and Amelia) holding the dark red blackberry/sumac/gin beverages we made to accompany this episode. Cheers!

Seeds, spread out on a cloth to dry, with a little red raspberry pulp still attached

We recorded our second episode last night! It's on genus Rubus, AKA brambles: Blackberries, Raspberries, Dewberries, and Thimbleberries

Bank vole climbing up flower stems in our garden. The pic is just a still from a video so not the best quality, but it was a nice encounter. #bankvole #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildteesdale #gardenforwildlife

Definately worth an early morning in the garden before work this week. I got to see two beautiful Lunar Hornet Moths (Sesia bembeciformis)! One of my favourite mimics.

DIY birdbath made of inverted pie plate, found vase and thrifted small yellow plate. Rocks and water fill the plate. Placed in native plant garden.

Really don't know what im doing, but I keep trying. Made this birdbath from a vase I found on the sidewalk (free), plate I thrifted, and pie plate I had. #nativegarden #gardenforwildlife

Good morning sunshine!

First sundrops to bloom. I love those expressive stamens and their shadows.

Landlord finally came by to see about clearing out the old garden shed that's been locked & rotting for years in the yard. Glad I was there to emphatically reject his suggestion to use weedkiller on the wildflower beds I've made, otherwise he might have done it himself. #GardenForWildlife #NoMowMay

Hand-drawn image of Chaparral Currant flowering plant

Need winter color?

Chaparral Currant blooms before most plants even wake up — offering early nectar to hummingbirds when they need it most.

It’s beautiful, drought-tolerant, and thrives in dry shade.

This is a native garden MVP.

Two-photo collage. Top photo is close-up of yellow, multi-petaled flowers that form a bell shape, each petal with pointed ends. Bottom photo is close-up of bud that has opened but not fully blossomed. Yellow petals are visible inside green bud cover.

Previous homeowner more recently began adding #nativeplants to the garden. I continue, weeding #non-nativeplant space hogs carefully, because I might notice something like this quiet, beneficial, beautiful #bellwort #merrybells #uvalariagrandiflora #decolonize #backyardhabitat #gardenforwildlife

Received my shipment of native plants today (already unpackaged in the photo) from the National Wildlife Federation to add to my #GardenForWildlife. So excited to do my part to feed our native pollinators. 🌱🐝

Collage of four photos to illustrate native plant restoration in yard. 1-area crowded with green leaves of spent spring bulb plants. 2-cleared portion with planting of our small wild bergamot. 3-Close-up of small bergamot. 4-close-up of small St. John's Wort stems with leaves

Slowly #decolonizing yard, replacing mostly non-native plants, with #nativeplants in patches. I found a small Shrubby St. John's wort, then it's tiny companion, drowning in sea of non-native bulb plants. (Relocated them to front yard.) Made space for #wildbergamot. #gardenforwildlife

Scarce Fungus Weevil (Platyrhinus resinosus).

I was searching the wildlife garden today for something to photograph when I noticed a distinctive-looking Scarce Fungus #Weevil on an old log. A new ✔️ for the garden.
