Went on a walk through our city park and was lamenting all the invasives that’ve nearly taken over the ground layer of the “old forest,” when I stumbled on this Sabal minor, dwarf palmetto. They’re not native this far north, and it made me happy to see an old friend from the Deep South.

It feels weird to have my feed so empty (on both sides), compared to my old account on the blue bird app. So I’ll introduce myself briefly. I run an urban farm at a public garden in the mid-south, I do native landscape design, I love a good bug, and I’m originally from the gulf coast. Hi 👋🏻

someone tell these daffs to chill
