All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Today marks the beginning of the second full week of Spring in the northern hemisphere, even if some of us are stuck in second winter. Share your garden goals, projects, challenges, and successes for this growing season; share your tips, tricks, and garden hacks, or anything else you'd like. Let's all help each other grow something beautiful together!

If folks are into it, I'd like to make this a weekly thread for everyone to share updates and assistance as the year progresses. Please let me know if that's something you'd all like.

I'm getting ready to head over to my local library to help out with their new gardener workshop this morning. After that it's a quick meeting with the library's program coordinator and their Master Gardener Volunteer to work on plans for updating their garden layout for this year - they were accepted into a monarch conservation program recently and received funds to expand their sensory garden as well as their vegetable garden for the local food bank.

After that it's back home to process all the willow cuttings waiting for me. I helped an older neighbor trim their willow wall yesterday and they let me take all that material for our nursery. Hopefully I can rope one of my plant nerd friends into helping me out, because there's so much to get through.
