Why do you collect plants? Why do you love plants? Is it surface level, or deeper? For me it started for me when I was a teenager, but my love really"blossomed' (see what I did there?)🤣🤣 I think after I had my first divorce and my son and I were having alot of problems. Plants dont talk back, plants don't argue, they are pretty simple creatures, and they know what they want and if you know them, they may just help you when you need them to. But after all I've been through in my life, they are a reminder that I am strong enough to get through all that life throws at me, and they will be there too to help out if I need it. 😉 🥰❤️

Hello everyone!Hello, everyone! I have had people ask about the master gardener program so below I have listed the Wisconsin Master Gardener program website. Feel free to look around and check it out. There is a Master Gardener program in every state. So just go to your UW extension office and ask them about their site or about signing up! The Master Gardener program is an all-volunteer organization sanctioned by land grant institutions in each state; the program functions as an extension of the college or university. In Wisconsin, the program is sponsored by University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension. Master Gardeners are trained volunteers who aid Extension staff by helping people in the community better understand horticulture and their environment. https://oneida.extension.wisc.edu/horticulture/master-gardeners/

So I just read this on another platform~ Bees know which flowers to visit based on electricity. If a flower hasn't been recently visited by a bee, it'll give off a static that tugs on the bee's hairs, letting it know food awaits. How amazing is that!?🤯Have you done anything this season to help the bees? I let a few of the weeds in my yard grow like goldenrod and heal all. Clover is getting pretty abundant in my yard too which I'm excited about. :) I also am going to plant more natives to help our pollinators. Every little bit helps!

Good morning plant peeps! Just wanted to pop on here and welcome our new members to the group! Please introduce yourselves and tell us, what got you started on liking (or obbsessing) plants?!
