#NativePlants Helianthus microcephalus in full bloom & absolutely swarming with so many different kinds of #bees & other #pollinators like October surprise Monarch #butterflies. This is why we plant for blooms #February2Frost!

My Philodendron ‘Birkin’ is actually loving life right now which always surprises me because my thumb usually goes from green to black when I come inside. What a lovely range of colors from stark white to all kind of stripes.

Another lovely late bloomer is ready-to-burst Chrysanthemum ‘Mary Stoker’. As long as mild weather holds, we’ll still have blooms. Some years, of course, they never get to show off if we have early frost but worth the gamble.

We have so much life left in our garden—so many buds that haven’t even opened yet—thanks to careful planning to make sure we have fuel for #pollinators from #February2Frost. One late bloomer is architectural Aster ‘Jindai’.

#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!

Clematis ‘Paul Farges’ started in June and is still blooming in October. 10/10, highly recommend.

You get a full keyboard out of something that folded flat in your bag ten seconds ago.
Mini Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard — Tested on a late train, typing with one elbow on a water bottle. Worth making room for.
Happy Saturday! First taste of fall weather here today so rocking my cozy “I’d Rather Be In My Garden” sweatshirt.
Good morning. More wildflowers popping up in meadow after that long drought. Sunny buttercups doing their joyful thing, our reminder that good things will return.
Wishing you a day filled with small joys like this.

☕ In a hard season, what does one tiny moment of joy look like for you? Coffee outside, a silly group chat, fresh nails I see every time I type. I'm protecting my right to feel joy anyway. It brings energy back + reminds me I'm here. What tiny joy are you claiming? #wellnessinreallife #smalljoys
