Humane Gardener

@RLarson92 Thank you!!

Really interesting talk from @humanegardener about fighting restrictive HOA ordinances that prohibit wildlife-friendly gardening & recent success stories #IUWC2023

@7StellarJays That is so beautiful!

@CMuzyk It was an absolute delight to meet you and Osprey and Atoosa!

We got to meet Nancy Lawson the @humanegardener today at the Prince William Native Plant Symposium. Her talk was truly inspiring! We love her first book and can't wait to dive into her new book: "Wildscape." #plantnative #optoutside

Fallen leaves provide foundational year-round habitat for countless animals (in ways that might surprise you!) humanegardener.com/fallen-leaves-…

@NatureScoopOhio Hi - thanks! Yes, of course, that would be great. I don't have any plans to remove it from my site. :)

@humanegardener Please keep up your great article These Animals are Made Possible by Fallen Leaves. I put it in my Nature Scoop newsletter each year as a reminder to readers. Excellent work! Would that be okay with you?

@moriartydg Hi Dennis, I'm checking in to see if you received my message about talking for a magazine article I'm writing. I'd love to chat with you. My sister was in the same situation - except with an HOA - and I'm interviewing others around the country. Thanks so much for considering!

I am an 80yr old Army Veteran and environmentalist who planted 10 Native Wildflowers species on my front terrace and now KC CODES has photographed as weeds and I'll be hauled to Court..these Are flowers planted specifically to support bees, Hummingbirds butterflies..im disgusted

@7StellarJays Thanks so much! Sorry, I didn't mean to be a pest - I just wasn't sure if people see DMs when they're not connected yet.

@7StellarJays Also, I absolutely love your images! And I love how there is the little antenna peeking out of the tube - when I watched them and read about them, that appeared to be the dedicated dad. :)

@7StellarJays Hi Jen, I'm a nature writer with a new book out in spring and have been trying to get pictures of our OP mud daubers carrying mudballs. Since I'm not a pro photog, my pics are fuzzy. I sent you a message to ask if you license images for such projects? Thanks! :)

@xrisfg @mollynashrouzie @McmackinRebecca @jeffvandermeer @urbanevol @craniatology Thank you for sharing, @xrisfg. The main theme - that humans are highly mobile and can thrive in many habitats while lots of other species live in small, specific ranges - seems to resonate when I give presentations. It’s simple but helps people think beyond a humancentric lens.

This week on the podcast, Nancy Lawson of @humanegardener is back! This time she's sharing all about a #CitizenScience project called #MonarchRx & an unexpected way we can help promote #monarch #butterfly health. @CitSci ed.gr/doyp0

Monarch Rx: Calling All Butterfly Watchers humanegardener.com/monarch-rx-cal…

Amazing. The children lead once again. nytimes.com/2021/04/24/nyr…

Fern fronds hold on tight for the great unfurling, like kitties and people sleeping with their wrists curled up on their chests (which I used to do until a physical therapist told me to stop it). Look closely and you’ll see we have company. #fernsarepeopletoo #spiderspy

@KellyBrenner @jeffvandermeer Hi Kelly! Thank you! Jeff, yes, that’s the crux of it - if we hadn’t lived it, I would find it hard to believe. I still do. Thanks for sharing.

A great article about persistence and changing the law. What I find horrifying, though, is one a-hole with no knowledge of *anything*, even basic erosion control, could cause so much havoc over a bunch of wildflowers. humanegardener.com/butterflies-1-…
