About this blog

I'm an educator, writer, speaker, and naturalist, active in outreach around a variety of topics. Visit my website for more information.

My blog posts span two gardens over the last decade, one in the Piedmont of South Carolina and the other in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and now a new-to-us garden in Bas St. Laurent, Quebec. Our gardens have been increasingly home to native plants, birds, small mammals, and insects of all sorts. My gardening companion (my husband) is equally the gardener.

Woody, our rescue Golden, had been our fellow gardener, in the mountains of Western North Carolina, with new duties in Quebec. He followed his previous fellow goldens (and my former gardening assistants): Mocha and Chessie. They brought life to our gardens.

gardening

v.tr.
1. to cultivate (a plot of ground) as a garden

About photos

I reduce the sizes of most images, but they're still bigger than what's seen on the blog (click to enlarge!)

Text and images are my original work, except where credited elsewhere. I'm glad to share photos with attribution.
