There’s a lot to be learned by closely observing the different floating wetland designs that our community came up with this spring. #floatingwetlands #elderberry #birdhousegourds 🌿🌰

It’s the time of the season for… birdhouse gourds! And are they ever prolific. These gourds are destined to be buoys in floating wetlands. 🌿🌰 #birdhousegourds

It really looks like there’s a dragon in the high tunnel! This plant sits at the intersection of agriculture and ecological restoration. Natural floating wetlands need something to help keep them afloat, and the hollow birdhouse gourds seem to be doing this job! #floatingwetlands #birdhousegourds 🌿🌰

I've decided to attempt winter sowing seeds for my first real garden attempt in 2025. Two odd choices I would LOVE to grow are birdhouse and loofah gourds. I'm in 8A planting zone. Raised beds. Any advice is welcome.
