A bunch of pollinators are landing in my neighborhood's wildflower garden that never were there before. 🐝 ❤️ 🌻

a gift from my friend in town: an American Chestnut seedling.

American Chestnuts are endangered in the U.S. because of a chestnut blight introduced from East Asia. It is estimated that the blight killed between 3 and 4 billion American chestnut trees in the first half of the 20th century, beginning in 1904.

People are working on a genetically modified strain, but until that gets introduced, i'm happy to try to keep hope alive and grow this.

My little act of pollinator kindness until I can plant a meadow - spare the eastern daisy fleabane while mowing.

I found ants herding aphids on #orientalBittersweet and I am now torn between my love for symbiotic relationships and my desire to purge that invasive plant with a cleansing fire. 🔥🌱🔥
