The grasses are indeed greener on the other side (and the flowers, ferns, shrubs…) Here’s a great article on the new & lush yard paradigm!
In a sea of brown lawns, why some natural gardeners are bringing messy back | CBC News
To water or not to water? Turns out, that may not be the question. As abnormally dry weather sweeps across much of the country this summer, is it still responsible to maintain a grass lawn?

#WildlifeWednesday Bats sleep in the daytime and hunt at night. What do you think happens when we introduce light into their life?
Thanks to #DarkSkyPreserves in our province, bats can find the insects they need to eat and not be disoriented by the “suns” we put out at night.💡🦇

The first post of the #SharingOurNature Substack publication.
Even if you might not have the room for #WinterSowing, you don't need to be growing #NativePlants to help.
You can educate, do events, & create seed envelopes (empty or packed) with your local seed library! All great ways to get involved.
Is this the simplest iteration of a Wildflower Seed Library?
Here's what I feel is a native plant seed distribution operation in its most basic form. In many cases, simpler is better; let's not reinvent the wheel.

Winter sowing #NativePlants doesn't have to be hard!
I have put old ice cream pots outside with seeds from wildflowerseedlibrary.ca &

I will have plants in the spring now, thanks to these little envelopes and the instructions found here! www.wildflowerseeds.org/winter-sowing/
