I'm trying to learn more about the invertebrates that live in leaf litter so I can try to put a face to the #leavetheleaves movement. My favorite has been the Mourning Cloak Butterfly. What an evocative name for a tiny Gothic beauty

Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) have such a special place in my heart. They get a bad reputation with traditional gardeners because of the allelopathic chemicals and dropped nuts, but they are so valuable to the central MI ecosystem - and they're beautiful trees 🌳

My "hell strip" landscaping. Right in the middle of the city we've got witch hazel (Hamamelis), elderberry (Sambucus), and of course Goldenrod (solidago) with some little asters and coreopsis scattered about. Mulch courtesy of a power line trim crew!
