About two years ago I braided a clump of aspen shoots on a whim. Now with leaves thinning, you can see where they’re still separated at ground level, but up about 2’ they’ve fused into a single braided trunk. Pretty cool, eh?

Got a little bit more of my lawn removed. Can't wait to finish this addition and then fill it with native plant seeds this winter!

Due to a 3rd shipping rate hike by USPS this year & rising inflation I need to raise the price of our seed packets and shipping slightly. The raised rates will start Oct 9. Thanks to everyone choosing natives over conventional plants for their yard!

An Oak Tree a Day
Here’s a huge coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) that looks to have avoided many wildfires that have paraded across the local landscape. Most of the trees here have bark that has been transformed to black. We persist , we survive California #nativePlants #nature
Dug out 3 wheelbarrows full of Cutleaf Coneflower from this section. Lawd, it took over. Not sure what will replace it. Maybe, more penstemons? Nice and clumpy, not too tall and well-behaved.
