It's me, Jenna. In Scotland.
Autumn is my favourite colour.
Plant lover, cat enthusiast, grower of vegetables, cloud watcher, visitor of places, occasional crafter and art-er.
(Admin Officer at @bsbibotany.bsky.social when working 🙃)
Views are my own.
This is what's been consuming my time at work for the last couple of months (just as a small part of a fantabulous team). Content migration only obviously!

It's so exciting to see it go live! And it's so pretty...

‘Beautiful yet mercurial’ fen orchid brought back from brink of extinction
The orchid’s increasing population in Britain is a bright spot in otherwise ‘stark picture’ for British wild plants, the latest Red List shows.

If this is true about local laws forcing them to cut garden lawns, that's pretty mental. The residents association (or whatever they're called) would not like my lawn...
I don't know how @climatetown.bsky.social keeps getting better, but their newest video on how awful lawns are is not to be missed
