Who says you can’t have a full native plant garden inside of containers that are placed outside for the birds, butterflies, and bees to enjoy?

The native plant community in r/nativeplantgardening is having a meltdown. I'm highly entertained.

How do I separate these two?
submitted by LucidFeverDream to nativeplantgardening 17 points | 4 comments I planted a Penstemon earlier this spring. The last time I checked on it I thought it looked a little strange. It turns out there’s a New England Aster growing in the same space. I’d like to be able to salvage both plants since that’s the best looking aster in my garden, currently. Everything else has been devastated by lace bugs, but this one only has minor damage. Do I need to dig up both? In case the photo is confusing, the bottom portion is definitely Penstemon leaves. It’s difficult to see in this photo but they’re also on the other side. It even bloomed earlier this year. The tall portions sticking up look exactly like a young New England Aster to me. The portions that look like Penstemon, the lace bugs don’t touch. The aster portions have some minor lace bug damage. I only noticed due to the lace bugs. They don’t touch any of the other Penstemons in the garden so I was confused when I saw one hanging on this plant.

Oh and new substack is live

Our yards may be the problem, and the reason our parks are overrun, but they could be solution too💚

Guess I need to figure out which hastags are used most often here 🤔 lol its a bit if a niche ask, but very much open to suggestions that are broader, just in general plants/"scenes" that might be identifiable via silhouette alone?

Specific species, Smoothe Purple coneflower is high on the list at the moment. As is Northern Sea oats, and Purple Top(tridens flavus). If you're familiar with #Piedmont Prairies or just tall-grass Prairies at all, what are some "Iconic " species perhaps recognizable by silhouette alone? 🤔

The sky is white and featureless, in the center out of focus in the background a large high transmission power line is visible in a gap, with forest being present on either side.line of sight is, staring down a powering right-of-way clearing

New article is LIVE on Substack. I think if you ask anyone about fireflies, they agree " there used to be more" than there are now. Did you know, we aren't even tracking their decline?

On Stewardship clients , that is the next step in the plan. Overlapping the philosophy of mutual-aid with horticulture, to get native plants into plantable ground. Because all of the banks said "no", its time to kick the fundraising into highness. Stay tuned!

fail to see the problem. next question
"Newly Planted Garden - Squirrels/Rabbits eating everything" [via Reddit · r/NativePlantGardening] "Rabbits love them all. Oats, peas, wheat grass, alfalfa are enjoyed. They love leaf lettuce, most kale. Willow, mulberry, apple and honey Locust ..." (The list cuts off from length, failing to make whatever point it was trying to make against rabbits being allowed to do this whenever they desire)
