It took five years, but my Dutchman’s pipe FINALLY attracted a pipevine swallowtail. Beyond thrilled. #DundasOnt #HamOnt #Swallowtails

I’m experiencing my 47th spring and it’s still such a thrill to see perennials pushing up through the soil to experience another season. It’s like magic ✨

I once saw Mani eating a hotdog outside of The Guvernment in Toronto during the XTRMNTR tour. Mustard & onions. Good memory.

I participated in this two years ago and I’m doing it again. An incredible networking event for fellow native plant gardeners and a great way to introduce traditional gardeners to the world of native plants. Win-win!

I ordered 3 yards of premium triple mix earlier in the spring from The Dirt Depot and I’m super disappointed to discover it’s rife with lamb’s quarters, crown vetch & nut sedge. Some terrible invasives. Just a heads-up to anyone thinking about ordering some. #hamont #ontarionativeplants #DundasOnt

As spring gets going in earnest, I'd love if you #ontarionativeplants enthusiasts could help spread the word about this BlueSky feed as well as the discord server (contact me for invite link). Would love to have more off-Facebook community for this hobby 💚

Last year, I planted a Dutchman’s breeches corm that had been left on a gravel path in the sun for a day. This year, a renewed lust for life. Never give up. #nativeplants #ontarionativeplants #springephemerals

There are active members in the general #nativeplants community on here but not too many interested specifically in #ontarionativeplants. Let’s change that.

Finally got around to cutting down the invasive 20-foot X 20-foot white mulberry tree on my property. Feel pretty good about it.
