I dream of collaborating with a team of professionals to do something with unused parking lots. I wanna call it something like "Un-Pave Paradise". Team: lot owner, asphalt company, landscape company, landscape architect, etc. I want to cut designs into the pavement, and plant native gardens.

NATURE SLIPS
Politicians fail us every day they don’t put nature first.
Nothing is worth it to risk the lives of billions of animals, humans & plants for.
It’s time to give politicians an ultimatum, either they act for people & planet, or we have no use for them.
Time’s up!

My next-door neighbor had his tree "trimmed." Ugh. It should be illegal to do this to a tree.

GOOD MORNING 🌏🌎🌍
No one gets everything right.
We all need to #rethink a lot.
But every attempt at change for people & #planet is better than more of the same corruption, destruction & exploitation.
Let’s be thinkers not parrots.
Let’s be bold.
Let’s find each other & work together.

Hope to see this fighter out of his O2 chamber and kicking feather snake butt soon.
Behold, this boy who would rather be helping his brother vanquish the feather snake 🧡🐾

The thought of potentially loosing employees to larger companies that can afford to pay for health ins. is depressing. We do good work here for people, pollinators, and planet and people like it here, but right now they have to choose between a job they love and health care. Doesn't seem right.

Some friendly Bluesky people suggested peat-free seed starting mixes last season, but the products weren’t available here.
It looks like there are more options this month.
Please suggest products or maybe recipes for cutting dependence on #peat. Thanks! 🎃
I need better seedlings next Spring.
