Greetings,


We've been enjoying such beautiful weather this week. Sunny days and cool mornings giving that hint of the season on the verge of change. We've been very, very dry here...the grass is brown and crispy, but the natives are staying strong.


Watching butterflies and hunting for caterpillars has continued to be a joy lately. We were treated to watching a zebra swallowtail while eating dinner the other day. That was a rare treat, but exciting knowing we have pawpaw trees in our yard now. Further reinforcement to keep working to increase plant diversity in your gardens to bring more variety of wildlife to enjoy.


With the summer season seeming to be winding down, we have a NEW video to share with you on a favorite as we starting inching towards Fall. New England Aster is such a beauty and a great late season resource for pollinators.


Enjoy learning all about it & seeing what a beauty it is in today's new video!
