A Monarch butterfly that weighs less than a paperclip can travel thousands of kilometres across an entire continent and still find its way back to the same forests its ancestors used.
This was last week in the front garden, The plants are growing under the tarp! today I tromped on them hoping I broke some stems. I would hate to have to lift them all and start over! This is preparation for my #pollinatorpathway garden. @sherylwillwrite
The Marshy Garden Project at the Ithaca Soil Factory was awarded funding in the spring to purchase 100 native plants. The garden is part of the Tompkins #pollinatorpathway which are areas that provide critical food and habitat for pollinators.
Thank's to Laura's Garden Foundation, Wethersfield now has a beautiful garden by Mikey's Place for all to enjoy!
"Laura's Garden was built as a community gathering space to honor the life and legacy of Laura Kirche Hart."

My patio is my sanctuary, to relax and rewind, after work. Sitting and enjoying the catbirds and Orioles, as they go to the grape jelly feeders. I am waiting patiently for monarchs to return. Get on the #Pollinatorpathway It doesnβt take much
My brother helped me cut down 3 huge burning bush last week. Today I pulled the rest of English ivy &
planted 7 native viburnum seedlings in area but slope is still very bare.
Next up, either the black cherry, plum or spicebush.

It took a year, but East Hampton, NY will plant a native pollinator garden at town hall. Our community organizing has galvanized sufficient support to make this happen. Thanks all. Now letβs keep this spreading. #pollinatorpathway#nativeplants#longisland#gardens
