3 years ago, this patch was almost all hard clay & only thing that grew was lawn grass. I've spent lots of time/effort remediating the soil as part of my longterm #rewilding personal project.

This patch is now doing quite well & has many different perennial & some edible #plants growing out of it.

I have great admiration for this #nonfruiting #crabapple #tree in our front yard. Multiple wee birds, including hummingbirds have been nesting & feeding from it for a long time. The #blossoms are falling with every breeze. Leaving tiny, pretty pieces of petal mulch on grounds.

Two completely #different looking #crabapple #trees in full #Spring #bloom 🥰
There's another crabapple tree in our backyard that has darker pink blooms too. The pink/white #blossoms are on #nonfruiting #MarileeCrabapple in front yard. I got an #arborist to identify it - I'm unfamiliar with non-fruiting #FruitTrees .
