Some good native plant seed resources I've learned about recently along with the podcast episodes they were on. Mostly focused on U.S. east coast.

#solarpunksunday #gardening #jardin #garten

I know I’m preaching to the choir here but gardening doesn’t have to be an uphill battle. You don’t have to grow fertilizer gobbling / pest magnet plants like tomatoes and zucchini.

You can grow weeds and #NativePlants and your harvest will be bountiful, stress-free and nutrient dense. Not to mention, it will actually save you money. 💚

Roots! Clinging desperately to the side of the hill! Or casually exploring the environs.
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleParks #SeattleSpring #RavennaPark #NativePlants #NativePlantsOfThePNW #PseudotsugaMenziesii

An image of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) roots growing on the side of a hill. The roots are gradually being exposed by weathering, and look a bit as if they are clinging for dear life. Doug firs are notoriously shallow rooted and are the most likely trees to fall in windy rainstorms

Joe Pye weed (Eutrochium maculatum)

But who is Joe Pye? It seems to be the anglophone name of a very interesting Mohican, Joseph Shauquethqueat, living at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, in Massachusetts and New York. Not clear he had anything to do with the plant, maybe only by association.

A scholarly article about botany, history and First Nations, with Latin names and a critical eye. Perfect 🤓
