Bee on Joe Pye Weed

So excited to tell you about another native plant supplier that I found! She grows her natives from seeds, is in Alachua County, and grows some plants I haven’t been able to find locally.

Eastern Sweetshrub blooms

Hello! Did everyone enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend? We sure did.

We’ve gotten some good rain, with more on the way. That’s always a good thing. Got a little chilly last night, and more of it tonight. One advantage of nativescaping with plants native to our zone 9 is they don’t need to be covered during the normal cold snaps.
