April is all about waking up our observation skills and getting ready for the foraging season ahead 🌿 Your challenge:📸 Post at least 3 photos each week of plants (or other organisms!) growing around you Not sure what it is? Even better - post it anyway and let the hive mind help identify it 🐝 This is the perfect time to get outside and start noticing what’s waking up. Early spring blooms are popping in many areas, and while flowers are the easiest to spot, don’t stop there! Look for all the weird and wonderful things emerging around you 👀 Here are a few ideas to get you started: 🌱 Rosettes - many plants overwinter as low, circular leaf clusters 🌳 Tree buds - watch for swelling buds getting ready to leaf or flower 🍃 Lichens, mosses & evergreens - always there, but easier to notice as snow melts Even if you still have snow on the ground, there’s always something to find ❄️ The goal this month is simple:👉 Get outside👉 Start noticing👉 Share what you find I’m so excited to see what’s growing near you this spring 🌸💚 Let’s fill this group with fresh discoveries!

I just published the Eco-Punk Personality quiz to the "Classroom" tab - it's open to everyone - so I wanna know - WHAT KIND OF ECO-PUNK ARE YOU???

Okay, I know it looks like a total mess but we're just getting started! 🌱First pic is of a raised hugelkultur bed on a hill planted with 2 plum trees, strawberries and asparagus. 🌱 2nd pic is a bed dug into the side of the hill with a recycled "retaining wall". I just finished pulling up all the yucca that took over this area last year. Now I gotta get the root fragments outta there and plant it with some aggressive native species. Any ideas? 🌱3rd pic is a sassafras tree that was given to me by a neighbor last fall. I just got it in the ground finally. I hope it does well!
