Lived here for eight years and finally got out to this beautiful park on the shore of Lake superior today. It’s only about 25 minutes from my house but I think I’m going every week now at least once.

Three years ago, I started planting milkweed along the side of my walkway. It’s now about 3 feet wide and 14 feet long. Last year we had a few monarchs visit. Here is a few pictures of this year‘s first monarch butterfly visitor to our milkweed patch..

Growing food for students on campus is a joy many spaces can be put to good use. Algoma University corn circle and raised bed gardens tended by myself, my assistants and the AUSU student body. 31 mounds of corn beans and squash, and numerous raised beds with all kinds of veggies.
