Mealy Blue Sage has started showing off its blooms that soon enough will be buzzing with pollinators.

This is such an exciting part of the year. Seems every day brings a change, and new blooms.

I am happy for them to do their thing. Such a great annual with really intricate blooms.

Yarrow looks lovely at this time of the year. I planted one in the new garden late December and it is happy as can be and has grown already.

Your garden isn't just about height, it's about TIME.⏳

Built the vertical layers? Great. Now ask: does your yard feed pollinators in March AND November? Is it a 1-season pop-up or a 4-season sanctuary?

Tomorrow: the year-round playbook. Stay tuned!

Winter’s winds are raging
And shake about the trees.
Spring flowers slumber,
Roots are sleeping under
Brown and crispy leaves.

Albany secures Coastal Conservancy grant for Albany Hill wildfire resilience and monarch habitat trial The city won a Coastal Conservancy grant with El Cerrito to fund a demonstration wildfire‑resilience and habitat project on Albany Hill that includes selective removal of 25–50 trees on the Taft side, planting 24 trial monarch‑friendly trees, community milling workshops and workforce training for an urban restoration crew.

Albany and El Cerrito are teaming up to enhance wildfire resilience on Albany Hill while creating a thriving habitat for monarchs—this innovative project is set to transform our landscape!

Planning commission approves 1 MW community solar garden with pollinator habitat and vegetative screening The commission approved a conditional use permit for a roughly 1‑megawatt community solar garden sited on about 10 acres along Trunk Highway 9, including a required beneficial‑habitat pollinator plan, buried interconnection line where code requires, and a double row of 6‑foot spruce trees as vegetative screening for nearby residences.

Clay County just approved a groundbreaking one-megawatt community solar garden that promises to support local pollinators while providing renewable energy for Xcel customers!

Today's highlights from the Pollinator Garden- Texas Gayfeather Liatris mucronata and Tall Goldenrod Solidago altissima. Both have very vibrant colors and both are fantastic for pollinators.

Great time to be planting. With cooler nights ahead, even on hot days, it is easier on the plants. And it is still enough time for the perennials to get established before the first hard freeze.

Be like goldenrod, stay resilient and true to you 🫶

Adult Gulf Fritillary butterflies love Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa). It is a source of high quality nectar.

Although #NationalPollinatorWeek has come and gone, our passion for pollinators is still as strong as ever!

In case you haven't heard of it before, I wanted to share an initiative we have at CSWCD - the Colonial Pollinator Pledge!

Since they don’t have eyelids, they enter a restful state called torpor—a kind of butterfly "power nap" where their activity slows down to conserve energy.

A dusting of snow on dry brown oak leaves that are starting to crumble, on top of winter dormant grass. Black snow boots peek in the lower corner of the photo.

Leave the leaves, February 19: snow day. This was earlier today; now there’s 2” of snow and it is COLD out there. The next three days will be full of keeping thawed water available for all the farm critters (chickens, alpacas, goats, and pigs). #leavetheleaves #pollinatorhabitat
