Hi everyone, I've decided to close this Skool community on June 30th That should give y’all time to finish any courses you’ve been working on in the “classroom” tab and make connections with the folks you want to keep in contact with. This group has been super fun, but I need to simplify my workflow. I have been pulled in too many directions between my day-job, side gigs, volunteer work and keeping up with publishing videos to YouTube, Tiktok, Rednote, Instagram and facebook (You can find me on all those platforms as @thatweirdplantlady) If you want to stay in touch and keep getting foraging tips, plant IDs, and updates on my next book, you can join my email list here: https://forms.gle/tPNGbbLHmeRtpCHH9 That's where I'll be sharing my best content going forward - no spam, just plant & fungi fun in a monthly or bimonthly newsletter. Thank you for being here. Hope to see you on the list. - Melanie 😁👍🌱✨

Potentilla reptans, Creeping Cinquefoil This cute little yellow flowering plant reminds me of if a strawberry plant and a cannabis plant had a baby haha I've seen it many times but now that I am literally surrounded by it I've noticed it's growing pattern is indeed very creepy. She plants, sends out a runner and plants again. She creeps on.

This month the challenge is: 1. Post flower pictures🌺 2. Discover what plant family your flower belongs to!🏵️ 3. Get better at recognizing plant families by shared characteristics in their flowers 🌹 If you don't know plant families yet, don't sweat it! Just post your flower pictures and the community will help out! 😁👍🌻✨

Now a free abundance is starting to arrive from nature , how much of the food you eat is forage, how much do you grow and how much comes from a sustainable source?

Hey y'all! You're girls been real busy. We secured a rv, got it to the property, got power out to it (still working on water) and have most of our car projects moved down. Our last day in the apartment is Friday and we are almost fully packed and moved. I realized I've been so busy aside from a few up close pictures I took for Inaturalist I've not taken any of the set up or our space, except for one single picture I took looking out over the creek that is basically our front yard. So I'll share that for now. Hope everyone is having a great spring and their gardens are growing well.
