Your local library may have seeds for native plants! If they don't, be the change you want to see 🌺
Yooooo let's goooooooo! https://youtube.com/shorts/Li9JF3ZAJxc?feature=share
For context, chestnut trees used to be an important part of Mid-Atlantic ecosystems before they were basically wiped out by a fungus. Trees which have been resistant to the fungus do not seem to have viable offspring, even if they do flower and give off chestnuts. If bar populations can become resistant to their fungus maybe chestnuts can too!
Could this be a mature American chestnut?! #trees #nativeplants

I went to the #fcpl library and checked out a book on urban gardening. It's mostly on gardening in the backyard of a row house, but it includes some information of #BalconyGardens too. Time to time out how many hours of sunlight my balcony gets and away we go!
First making compost, then a balcony garden! I'm thinking of starting off with some beebalm, milkweed, and maybe some tomatoes. What sorts of native plants grow well on balconies? #gardening #composting #urbangardening
