Currently refraining from splurging on any spring ephemerals because my friend who lives in the woods is going to let me dig up some of hers lol

lol I have dozens of rabbitbrush growing wild on my property (and, yes, they are pampered and loved)… it gives me a giggle to see rabbitbrush for sale at the local nursery. What makes shake my head are the neighbors who remove these beauties from their properties. The bloom yellow in the later summer, early fall, and create a beautiful golden texture to the area.

Sometimes our devoid suburban land isn’t ready to support seedlings. A relatively mature plug is sometimes the only way begin the journey of supporting native gardening!

Lucky you! By me the deer have decimated all of the woods to the point where there is pretty much nothing native growing below eye level

Digging up wild plants a terrible idea.

when you spend a small fortune at the native plant nursery just to go plant them in the woods near your home. (the woods are filled with invasives).

The elites don’t want you to know this but the plants in the woods are free
you can just take them.
I have 458 plants.

Join the rest of us pirates! ID the plant from the woods and then grab a few seeds for later. Just make sure you know what you’re getting into. Aggressive growers are sneaky
