Spotted on my way home in my hometown! I wanted to run up to their car, knock on their window, ask what their favorite native plant was, if i could see their native plant garden & if I could show them my native plant garden. We need a secret road wave for native plant lovers before i get too creepy.

Maybe their slogan should be, “We take unbalanced ecosystems and make them worse.”

NEW PODCAST ALERT!!! I’m looking to start a new podcast in my free time. The idea is, “Let me interview you”. Once a week, I’ll announce, on social media, that the phone line is open. First person to get through will be interviewed by me. Nothing but crowd work. Look out for further announcements.
