Our neighbors understood the assignment - you too could have a gorgeous #nativeplants sidewalk with one or two well placed New England asters and goldenrods!
An Oak Tree a Day
Some will fall but be the one that says I’ve got you. These next few weeks are going to be rough on your nerves but know that you’re not going through this alone. Reach out & say I’ve got you. Rest when you need it. We’re in for the long haul. California #nativePlants #nature
#NativePlants Aralia racemosa has proven to be one of our most popular natural feeders for #birds this season. Once packed with dark fruits and now nearly picked clean. Grow your own bird food!

#GardenDogs #WeAreAllZoey & I have more in common than I like to admit. Stubborn, impulsive, determined—her policing her domain, me blanking on telling myself I was done planting for the year when clearance #NativePlants came up. 72 plugs & 30 plants inbound. 🫣
I'm potting lots of tree and perennial seeds this year. How does this look as a soil option?
Granite outcrops are such an amazing environment to explore… they may look rather lifeless and boring at first glance but they’re actually bursting with biodiversity

love to see these Monarchs building up their energy stores for migration on these fall asters and goldenrods. #nativeplants #gardenforwildlife #lesslawnmorelife
Having a bit of an autumn heatwave in the SF Bay Area this week and the sunrises have been fiery. This Acer macrophylla (Big Leaf Maple) is beautifully backlit and sere. #Botany #California #NativePlants #Photography
The Goldenrod and Asters are a joy to behold. Later in the day, it’s so busy with all variety of bees, bugs, and butterflies.

Also featuring mountain ash, not actually an ash, Sorbus americana. Very striking on stony mountainsides.
