*Most PLUGS are now good to go.
*Perennial Tables, Vineland & Tree & Shrubland are full! (mostly)
*Woodland Gardens are on the downslide from "Prime" but still looking pretty good if you want to stroll!
**I'm still getting asked if it's OK for Photographer & Birder groups to come stroll the grounds and YES! You are most welcome to come with cameras & binoculars! 😁

This young lady with the big smile is Emmaelle.

She is one of the educators at Dyken Dyken Pond Environmental Education Center...and just picked up the replacement Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia purpurea) that you guys donated.
She wanted me to thank you and tell you all how grateful they are for the love.

I still have people asking to donate plants to them...
but at this point... they are thinking about installing security (trail cams & signs) to protect their precious plants.
If anyone wants to reach out to them directly...maybe they could use help acquiring those.

And I also want to thank you all for being such wonderful humans! 🤗

The Bad & the Good...
I learned yesterday that the 5 Purple Pitcher Plants
(Sarracenia purpurea)
at the Dyken Pond Environmental Education Center...
(Their entire collection)
were dug up & stolen this week. 😡
(Pretty low in my opinion...stealing from a non-profit nature center.)
Anyway...I donated one...and one of my customers was here and heard us talking about it....and she wanted to donate one, too.
So at least 2 have been replaced at no cost to the center.
The kindness & generosity of my customers continues to restore my faith in humans.

For those of you that remember the Giant Swallowtail cats I had in our Butterfly Box last summer...(That I thought would emerge in time to fly away...but didn't.)
So, they spent the winter in the butterfly box in the (UNheated) greenhouse.
This morning the 1st one emerged...perfectly healthy & lively!
I released it on the Foamflower blooms...which it seemed to like.
It even stuck around long enough for me to get some pictures!
😁😍

As of tomorrow...
No need to text ahead anymore.
I am officially OPEN with regular hours (Every day 10-5)

Also of note... for those of you that like to stroll the Woodland Gardens here.
