It was great seeing old friends and meeting new vendors/friends. It was a small event but it gives us more time to spend with people who come by. #pollinatorgardening #pollinatorfriendlygardening #cwnativeplantfarm #cwnativeplants #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #nativeplant #nativeplantgarden #nativeplantnursery

Kudos to the Seattle Krakens, the coolest name in the NHL, for their new/old net zero arena. https://climatepledgearena.com/arena-info/

Fall in Western New York brings colder temps and longer nights. The Harvest Moon was about a week ago with its brilliant light and we have had lots of rain which I have welcomed. Winter is just over the horizon. This is when the ecosystem rests from a busy summer. Plants grow stronger roots, many migrate while others slumber in the fallen leaves. I find it is a good time to read some good books and plan for next year. Doug Tallamy’s books are informative and inspiring. Thomas Rainer’s
Planting in a Post-Wild World: Designing Plant Communities for Resilient Landscapes is also very good as is Larry Weaver’s Garden Revolution. I am sure there are more I have missed but these have influenced my thoughts on native plants more than any others. Winter is a great time to reflect on the garden - what worked and what did not. I go through my pictures to see my favorites and consider what I will enter into the Erie County photography fair the next summer. I plan my winter sowing list. I will be posting the date for our presentation and seed swap this week. Winter is a time to rest and restore your soul. #pollinatorgardening #pollinatorfriendlygardening #cwnativeplantfarm #cwnativeplants #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #nativeplant #nativeplantgarden #nativeplantnursery

Next Sunday I will be in Williamsville with some plants, CW Botanical mech and signs. Come by and hang with me. I love seeing friends at these events. I make great soap, body butters, wax melts and perfume. I am interested in resiliency of the environment and the skin barrier.

I am not scheduled for an event on this Sunday (which is a bit of a relief actually). So I will only be at the Erie county fairgrounds today. #pollinatorgardening #pollinatorfriendlygardening #cwnativeplantfarm #cwnativeplants #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #nativeplant #nativeplantgarden #nativeplantnursery

Don’t forget today’s pop up market in Hamburg, NY. I will have seasonal wax melts, perfumes, herbal infused soaps, lotions, body butters as well as some plants and pollinator signs. Or just stop in and say “hey.” #pollinatorgardening #pollinatorfriendlygardening #cwnativeplantfarm #cwnativeplants #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #nativeplant #nativeplantgarden #nativeplantnursery

Bird love spicebush. They come to this plant in droves during the fall. #pollinatorgardening #pollinatorfriendlygardening #cwnativeplantfarm #cwnativeplants #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #nativeplant #nativeplantgarden #nativeplantnursery

From the Prairie Ecologist. “If you lean into the idea that you’re creating habitat for as many species as you can, success comes easily. Instead of worrying about what’s eating your plants, you’ll start to notice which plants attract the most caterpillars or grasshoppers. Then, you’ll notice where the crab spiders or assassin bugs like to hang out, trying to take advantage of that abundance of prey. Birds will appear too, catching those insects to feed their families or fuel their migration flights. A complex mass of dynamic interactions will be taking place literally in your back yard – and you’ll have a front row seat.”

Winterberry does well in so many different sun and moisture conditions. I have had it in part shade and full sun as well as full sun dry. #pollinatorgardening #pollinatorfriendlygardening #cwnativeplantfarm #cwnativeplants #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #nativeplant #nativeplantgarden #nativeplantnursery

I am going to be at two vendor events this weekend. It will be exhausting but worth it I hope. I will bring some “pollinators welcome” signs with me and a few native plants just to help get the name out for both sides of the business (CW Native Plant Fa and CW Botanicals). Both events should be free but the bigger event will be the one in Hamburg. Please stop by and say “hi.”
