Paula Whyman May 26, 2025

Thrilled to get to chat with New York Times garden columnist Margaret Roach on her podcast A Way to Garden, about the trials and tribulations of bringing back native meadows, struggles with invasive plants, and how to accept imperfection.

These black locust flowers are gorgeous, hanging in heavy bunches from the trees. Can anyone tell my what kind of fly(?) that is pollinating it?

Out of the lab and into the streets, researchers and doctors rally for science against Trump cuts

Researchers, doctors, their patients and supporters are venturing out of labs, hospitals and offices across the country to stand up to what they call an attack on life-saving science by the Trump administration. Friday's Stand Up for Science rallies in the nation’s capital and more than 30 other cities aim to feature a different kind of protestor. Politicians, scientists, musicians, doctors and their patients say firings, budget and grant cuts in health, climate, science and other research government agencies during President Donald Trump’s first 47 days in office are endangering not just the future but the present.

Natural Bridge State Park in Natural Bridge, VA, seen from below the bridge. This natural ancient rock bridge was visited by several early US presidents, including Washington and Jefferson. It still stands today and is a natural wonder.
