Please don’t tie things on your trees with synthetic/non-biodegradable fibers. They strangle the branch if not removed. It is too late for this tree. This string is embedded and will likely eventually kill the whole big branch of this tree in time. Sad.

The world feels so heavy and dysfunctional right now. I have always believed in the healing power of nature and her beauty, so I offer this: a moment of a mental respite. Let yourself “stroll” down this summer pathway, through a garden I designed and crafted years ago with my husband. It’s an all-time fave for me, a fond memory. Hopefully it will offer you a nice feeling, even if just for just a moment!

This is a true walk of shame. Thank you to my community members who are calling out and naming these ICE killings. My heart hurts for their families and loved ones. These injustices must stop.

Doing some gentle taming in a wildlife garden today. Look at this soil! I always find that the very best soil is in gardens that have been allowed to “be” - leaf litter and stems left in place year after year.

A tip for bird-friendly gardens - keep on top of this invasives! Lots of perches means lots of droppings. In this garden I found the top 10 hits of PNW bird-spread weeds: Daphne laureola, Holly, a variety of Laurels and some Ivy. But they pulled real easy in that gorgeous soil!

The lichens like this that you see on your trees are friends, not foe! They are nitrogen fixers, helping pull nutrients from the air and into the vascular system of the plant to feed them. No need to pick them off!
