It’s not much but my experiment of using cat litter to air layer a hornbeam actually worked! You can see the first root peaking through the plastic. Wild. 🌱 #gardening #bonsai

Check out this gorgeous wasp on my Culver's Root. Not quite sure what it is but it was thrilled with the menu options. #gardening #wasp

6 month progression of a #ginkgo #bonsai forest I started this year….in a takeout container. 🤣

I’ve had this beech in my front #garden for 4 years and it’s grown maybe 6”. (I think the heavy clay and dry soil is too much.) Anyone have any tips for digging this out and transforming it into a #bonsai? I’ve worked on a few smaller trees but nothing this size.

It’s not particularly stunning or magnificent but I love the understated beauty of this native Midwest #garden. 🌱 Can you name all the natives?

One of my favorite recent finds - dwarf crested irises. Apparently native to the Midwest US. A lovely sight in early spring. #gardening 🌱

3 years after growing these ginkgos from seed I figured I may as well pot them up. This take out container seemed convincing enough as a starter pot for this little #bonsai forest. 😂 🌱

Holy heck what a thrift store find! This is what I would consider the holy grail of secateurs. 😍 #gardening 🌱

I sowed clover in my lawn 3 years ago and now it’s outcompeting even the creeping Charlie that is everywhere. I can’t complain! 🌱 #gardening #lawn

Also it doesn’t produce fruit, but the leaves are just stunning in their own right.

The #garden may be retiring for fall, but I managed to find some late bloomers among the dead. 🌱 We’ve had a bunch of rain and mild temperatures as of late. Perhaps these plants think it’s early spring. 😬

Started this native catalpa tree from seed 2 years ago and today I planted in an opening alongside a trail I walk through on a regular basis. Hoping to sit beneath its shade one of these years! 🌱

Every fall I’m delighted to see this sedum blooming again in the #garden. Anyone know what type it might be? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in shops before. 🌱
