It’s been a rough week but the beauty I find in my gardens always brings me peace. The columbine and trillium are especially lovely right now. #bloomscrolling#nativeplants
You can do something: Garden for wildlife! If you own land, manage it as habitat. Add and grow lots of plants native to your area, which will feed birds and their babies. If you are anywhere near semi-natural areas, the land will heal itself over time, if you let it.
Another local native plant portrait with code. This time of Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus). I left it a bit expressively weird, because... personality.
(1/2) I bought a teeny tiny watercolor palette & filled it with 6 colors (CMYK + one extra color) from which I can create millions of colors! Here’s my palette in hand. You can read more on my latest blog post
I think I should make a little series of botanical sketches (in my chosen medium of code, of course) of local native plants. Maybe I'll set them into a pattern later.
Strongly considering collecting seeds and planting these around trees as revenge on squirrels for digging up seedlings and stealing fruit. 😈… 🐿️🐿️🐿️😱☠️
Hidden Lotus Herbs is getting ready to move to our new #farm site and really ramp up our operations!
For some backstory,
I was the recipient of a fund from @coop to start a worker-owned #cooperative and decided to make it an herbal apothecary!
We've been operational for around six months and are now starting our regenerative agroecological farm and increasing the capacity of our free clinic.
However, the #renewableenergy systems we're building are more expensive than we budgeted for, and we could use some help getting the farm and clinic going financially.
We're really needing help from our community to make all this cool stuff happen!
If you can spare some $, please consider supporting our transition and future. If you can't, please share far and wide!
