Every buzz, every blossom, every harvest… we owe so much to them. So plant for them, protect them, and appreciate them.
Because when we care for bees, we care for the whole planet. 🌍🌼

You don’t need a forest to help wildlife.

One oak can support 557 species of caterpillars—food for countless birds.

Even a balcony plant helps.

Less light, more life.

🍂 Leave the leaves — and let nature rest! Those fallen leaves are more than garden mess — they’re a cozy blanket for insects, frogs & hedgehogs to shelter through winter. Skip the rake and let your garden care for its wild residents. 🦔💚

While we still have time this August, set aside a small garden patch for experimentation. This could be for new crops, unique varieties, or companion planting. You might discover a new favorite.

Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) with two Eastern Bumblebees (Bombus Impatiens) feeding on a drooping umbel Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) opening orange flowers in a low-growing bed of Wild Strawberries (Fragaria virginiana) Red Milkweed Beetles mating on a budding milkweed inflorescence. Oleander Aphids (Aphis nerii) are clustered all over, beneath the umbel. Little swing-top bottles of bright red milkweed shrub, with a Common Milkweed flower in a shot glad in the middle. There is a oval wooden bowl of drying rose petals as a backdrop, and the petals are notable a darker pink than the Milkweed flowers, but significantly less vibrant a color than the shrub

I’ve planted Nothing, and now Nothing is starting to grow. It seems our pioneer is a sowthistle, not unexpected.

No other growth in this experiment yet, other than a film of green algae over the soil.

If you are gardening in eastern North America, Red #Columbine is an excellent addition for shade and sun. Pollinators love it, and you can share seeds with friends!

Note: Seeds require cold stratification and light to germinate.

When you're ready to tell me which one is a blueberry or huckleberry, and which one is burning bush, you're ready to catch an infestation early. If not, make sure the Euonymus alatus has visible wings before declaring it invasive and pulling.

#nativeplants #ecogardening #ecoregion59 #tendthewild
Lowbush Blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium) Hillside Blueberries (Vaccinium pallidum) Burning Bush, Euonymus alatus. Once a bunch of this moves in and it starts getting well-established, the blueberries and huckleberries die off Likely another V. pallidum, possibly a Gaylucacia, with ferns, over partridgeberries

Their post about saving native bees really hits home. At GardeningWell.ie, we’re restoring habitats for Ireland’s wild pollinators—not just honey bees.
Please follow these guys - Kindred spirits across continents 🌍💚 #EcoGardening #ClimateAction

Like most people, I once thought “save the bees” meant honeybees. It doesn’t. Commercial honeybees outcompete native bees & spread disease, reducing biodiversity & degrading the ecosystem. Honeybees aren’t native to North America and their presence here is a bad thing www.science.org/content/arti...
When honey bees ‘disappeared’ on this small Italian island, wild bees feasted
Unusual experiment suggests managed bees can outcompete wild bees and contribute to their decline

“Ireland’s plan to weaken waterway protections will push many beyond recovery.”

Healthy water means healthy gardens. Let’s protect what sustains us.

“Ireland’s plan to weaken legal protections for waterways will push many of them beyond recovery”

“the urgent need for restoration is clear”

“Instead, they will face a future as engineered channels.”

Good explanation of the issue by @ellamcsweeney 👇

Why is Ireland planning to all but give up on protecting its waterways?
Ella McSweeney: The Department of Housing is proposing to give up trying to restore or naturalise many of our rivers

I’ve decided to take a radically experimental approach to #gardening and I’m planting Nothing.

Four big, bluish green plant pots made out of recycled plastic. They’re filled with potting soil, standing on a wooden bench, and hold no plants.

Air traffic control has it's work cut out here.....

Taken a few minutes ago in our garden in #EastAnglia, UK.

I could hear a furious buzzing coming from this Opium Poppy and this is what I found... more in Alt Text..

#Insects #Bees #BloomScrolling #EcoGardening #Nature #Photography #EastCoastKin
Three bumble bees (one is partly hidden under another) plus a lone honey bee all trying to get nectar from the same flower head. The poppy is a delicate pink with purple blotches towards the base of the petals.
