Resistoration brought several good native garden folks to my house today! Made a great contact at another tour to help with the 20k feet in a park ive been given in a new township park that is almost complete!
Have had some more books donated to the little native resource library and met a neighbor today that said she was working on going native in her back yard! She's been watching what ive been doing in my yard and decided to take the leap!
Don't hesitate to pull some of the little threads and see where they go…odds are you'll learn some cool stuff about the local area and you'll meet a bunch of great folks.
Through the whole cans for plants thing I was doing, I met a bunch of new folks, and ended up connected my kid with someone that works at a cancer research institution and my kid has been volunteering in a world class lab all summer. She loves it and learned how a real lab operates…and now she's got a few mentors for when she goes off to college this fall. Legit, native plants have given me the juju to do new things and meet new people and it has now positively impacted my kids lives.

oh I really love how the pond is tucked in where you’d never know it was there until you’re right on it. so pretty!
I LOVE the secret pond!
May I ask what type of water lily? I need one that will do well in part shade and yours looks healthy even being tucked away between bigger plants.
How do you keep your natives organized in groups? I have native beds of various ages, and they always start mixing or taking over preferred spaces.
Hang on, I’ll be right over. This is great!
Do you have a walkway?
A secret pond is my new gardening goal. Amazing job!
What a lovely secret pond!!
