Invasive plants are like banjos in an orchestra. Discordant. We can make better music.

🌿New Series Alert!

❎Next Monday we’re launching a new series—our Top 10 Most Wanted list of invasive, non-native plant species negatively impacting Ohio’s private and public lands. 🌿You may even have some of these species bordering your own property.

❎Invasive plants often outcompete our native plant communities and provide little to no nutrition for wildlife especially when compared to Ohio’s native plant alternatives. 🌿Challenging to remove, the sooner they’re identified, the easier it is to remove them (although most species take several seasons to completely eradicate)!

Awesome shot Gabe! Wild ginger is a wonderful ground cover in the shade garden. They can be pollinated by beetles hence the low-slung flower.

An organic moment in nature starring the exquisite Wild Ginger in bloom & a very active land snail - which eventually worked itself into the frame. The flower is approximately nickel-sized & the snail equivalent to a dime, but this tiny scene was the highlight of our first visit to Goll Woods State NP in extreme NW Ohio. This preserve is said to hold the largest virgin timber in the state (400 years old) - a stronghold of the Great Black Swamp.

Which do you like ?

Same country, completely different street.

A mature tree canopy can change almost everything about a neighborhood: shade, walkability, summer heat, stormwater runoff, air quality, and even how inviting the street feels.

New York City once estimated its street trees provided $122 million in annual benefits — proof that trees are not just decoration. They are infrastructure.

😆 We know YOU would talk to us about milkweed, though.

We approve.

𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗲, located in Paris’s 14th arrondissement, has undergone a stunning transformation.

Once a circular, stone-paved square designed by Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill in the 1980s, it has been reimagined as a lush urban forest. By 2024, more than 470 trees turned the space into a thriving green oasis in the heart of the city.
