Photos of the Week!

Image
So as some of you may know, aside from crafting body products, I'm also an environmental educator.  I help people learn about gardening and sustainable practices for their homes and schools .  I love this aspect of my life, getting dirty and "being one with nature" fills me with a calming sense of purpose. The process of finding out who I am was touch as I was conflicted with what others thought I should be and how I felt about my strengths, passion and what I wanted to do with my time on the planet. I've gone through so many changes in career which is a needed thing for some. I'm helping a family member go through this exploratory phase, hoping she can let go of some of the fear and hesitation and go through this journey with an open mind and heart to her personal destination. Here are a few photos of where my week goes. Enjoy! Potential Garden site for a school in the Bronx. A moldy Tulip tree leaf. I'm trying to find out what causes...

Only one or two sightings or species means the habitat is lacking in many of the elements needed to support a diverse community. Here’s how to create a Butterfly Park in your backyard or community garden.   §   A Butterfly Park is an area planted in a sunny spot in your garden to attract butterflies (and other pollinators) filled with a variety of native perennial nectar and host plants. §   Sure, you can plant annuals and sunflowers in a Butterfly Park . Just remember you will have to replant or replace annuals every year.   §   Most native plants will tolerate weather conditions in the area and may be drought tolerant. You should, however, mulch the Butterfly Park to help retain water and keep the weeds down.   §   Butterflies and the nectar and host pl...
