Do you know why Moth’s matter? They are great pollinators, who visit your garden during the day or at night. They pollinate your fruit trees too! There is more... Birds love to eat moths and their caterpillars are baby food for songbirds. And then, did you know that in the USA, there are 700 species of birds, 750 species of butterflies and 11,000 species of moths!!! I learned all this from Margaret Roach, who lives in the same neck of the woods as I do and who is an extraordinary gardener, bird/moth/caterpillar/insect lover @awaytogarden @marthastewart @copakegeneral @thegardenconservancy @innisfreegarden #moths #pollinators

‘Tis morel season in the Hudson Valley...Look at the size of this one my friend found foraging in an old apple orchard at her place! Morels should be rinsed thoroughly before cooking and are excellent in an omelet, pasta or risotto. Did you know that morels are rich in iron, copper, Vitamin D, phosphorus and manganese One more thing...did you know that if you eat too many mushrooms, you can become allergic to them. Master mycologist Paul Stamets can no longer eat mushrooms @paulstamets @moyramulholland @goosay And...it’s best (safer) to eat mushrooms cooked. #eatforhealth #wildmushrooms #morels #morel #morchella #foraging
HoldFasts I found these a few years ago, on a beach in Southern California. Holdfasts are root-like structures that anchor seaweed to a substrate. They are torn from the ocean floor by storms and eventually wash up on the beach. #SoCal #holdfast #seaweed #ocean #pacificocean #substrate #rocks #priscillawoolworthphotography
In season this month Look out for these at your Local Market or Farmer’s Market: Fennel, Strawberries, Mango and Rhubarb. Produce eaten when in season is best as it’s at its highest nutrient content More healthy helpful reminders can be found on my site. The link is in the bio above!

Bird Hutch Swipe left to see several charming handmade bird feeders, where squirrels are also welcome and not to forget the bears, which are beloved in this garden. It was wonderful to experience this garden closeup, after having admired it from afar when I first drove by it 2 years ago. @thegardenconservancy @kathyruttenberg @upstate_diary #hudsonvalleyny #broccolihall #maxinepaetro #koi #birdfeeders #birds #priscillawoolworthphotography
Cardboard news: Cardboard should and can be recycled! Find a drop off location in your area by using earth911.com’s Recycling Locator. Also, cardboard that has all tape and stickers removed, is a great first layer on the ground and excellent foundation when you start your compost pile. You can also cut it up into pieces and add them to the compost pile. Did you know that over half of the cardboard collected is used to make new cardboard boxes, and additional cardboard can be downcycled into paperboard (used for cereal boxes) or chipboard (used for shoeboxes). Also, recycling 1 ton
Does anyone know what this is? I love it and saw it yesterday when I was out and about in the Hudson Valley.

Beautiful foggy nature walk @hawthornevalley through the woods, along a creek where natural treasures live like wild ginger, and trout lily share the forest garden with millipedes and salamanders. Enjoy the Spring wherever you are in the Northern hemisphere! #hudsonvalley #upstateny #springwalk #freshair #exercise #immersed #innature

Welcome to the Almanac Newsletter, an e-quarterly in which each issue celebrates innovations in Sustainable and Innovative Designs, Game-Changers who are creating and inspiring positive change, Eco Films that entertain and enlighten, Artists and Authors who are inspired by nature, Plant Based Recipes, a monthly Organic Gardening Calendar, as well as empowering readers to become informed consumers, by turning their purchasing power into a powerful tool for change. Attention is given as well to a Group or Organization that endeavors to arrest, contain, or reverse environmental damage and preserve our natural world for future generations.
As the public becomes increasingly aware of global warming and the unhealthy repercussions of heedless consumption of environmentally harmful products, people are more and more choosing to commit to greener, healthier lifestyles. We are all learning how to make conscious choices that reduce our use of natural resources and ideally serve to protect and sustain them.
Welcome also to my book titled LOLA, Lots of Love Always, which is aimed at young women but is a good read for everyone. It shows how to live a sustainable lifestyle and make healthy choices that are good for you and the planet at large. You are welcome to read the LOLA Blog, which has been archived on my site.
