THIS JUST IN!
The current heat wave has pounded the southland with scorching temps for three days already, and the forecast for the next few offers little relief. What to do in your natural garden.
August in the Natural Garden
The dry season is when every principle of Re-wild is on display. Since our activity in the garden is still minimal, native plants look as “natural” as they ever will, and we celebrate their natural beauty by basically leaving them alone. Just a little weeding and of course watering as needed, but mostly watching, as they mimic their botanical counterparts out yonder in the wild places.
July in the Natural Garden
As we build and maintain our mini-ecosystems, we create living narratives and leave dynamic marks for everyone to utilize, appreciate, interpret, read, remember, and hopefully emulate, in both present and future.
Experience Tree of Life Nursery
