Thanks to Mary Dansak with Auburn Villager for taking time to talk with our group at one of our @RefugeLawn sites in Auburn this year. Check out her story, Refuge lawns, places for pollinators auburnvillager.com/opinion/refuge… via @auburnvillager
Great event at @NorthwestMSCC. Thanks to host Len Lawhon and special guest Felder Rushing.
Spring beauty collection is underway! The drying plant material explosively dehisces seed when they’re ripe. Those seed are also all over the floor. Now grad student Nik Minaev will optimize germination protocols and select for improved seed viability. @MSU_AG @MSUExtService
One of our native azaleas, Rhododendron canescens (honeysuckle azalea) is currently putting on a gorgeous display of delicate pink blooms in the woods of northeast MS. Pollinators, like butterflies were loving it! #MSUext
Lyreleaf sage (Salvia lyrata) is thriving in this home lawn. Seed dehiscence in about a week. Grab a handful and distribute.
Nothoscordum bivalve (AKA false garlic, AKA crow poison) is showing out!
Replacing grass lawns with flower gardens, white clover fields, or meadows may be beneficial for pollinators and people in some areas, it ignores the documented want and need for lawns in modern society. Learn more on @TheTurfZone #podcast via @blubrry > media.blubrry.com/theturfzone/co…
Crow Poison and Spring Beauty showing out at @HailStateGC. Thanks Jimmy and @jakesorrells for the crabgrass sites!
🐞Electronic version finally available! 🪩🎉 content.ces.ncsu.edu/common-insects…
Spring beauty is in peak bloom! We see this perennial in low maintenance home lawns. Let it show a few more weeks before you mow. Better yet, once the seed start to turn dark brown, hand collect, brown bag, dry at room temp., then distribute on lawn later this summer.
Come hang out at @NorthwestMSCC and talk pollinator habitat inclusion and turf/lawn maintenance on April 24. Attendees must pre-register! Lunch is included. lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/tc9hshe
Thanks to Jasmine for the @auburnbees Native Bee Lab tour.
Great visit with Sarah at Nemophily Natives plant nursery in Auburn. Check them out!
Botanizing and talking insects with the @held_david @UGATurfgrass and @MSTurfgrass labs.
In honor of #earthday - consider your lawn differently by incorporating bulbs, blooms, and bees… one of the favorite pictures I have ever taken - grape hyacinth and tall fescue producing a spectacular lawn in Fayetteville AR…
Texas Toadflax (Nuttallanthus texanus) looking good on roughs at @lionhillscenter
I had a small cameo in the @Sierra_Magazine featuring an article written by Anne Readel. She spoke to UMN researchers and surrounding support to gain info on Minnesota's rise in Bee Lawns. Awesome article for anyone interested!🐝 sierraclub.org/sierra/slidesh…
Pink evening primrose (Oenothera speciosa) is on full display at the farm.
Krigia is coming!
I've had fun talking @RefugeLawn with colleagues and stakeholders this week. I had a question yesterday that prompted a blog about a @southernliving article: refugelawn.com/site_blog/sout…

Planning your garden? Think like a pollinator! 🐝
There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this corner of Cambridge. RT if you agree 🐝
