Pollinators need our help, and planting pollinator-friendly flowers is a great way to create some habitat for them. Even a small space is helpful!

#Lichens I explained to a neighbor that lichens were not killing his tree, but the bare twigs provided good light for photosynthesis. He's not alone in thinking the lichens are causing harm to trees, so read "Lichen: a three-way symbiotic organism." greengardeningmatters.blogspot.com/2020/11/lich...

If you discover a hibernating bumblebee while digging in your garden or allotment this winter, try to avoid disturbing her, and loosely re-cover her so she can hit the snooze button until spring. More advice from @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social at www.bumblebeeconservation.org
