thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow… its going to make me cry
the folks at the nature center are going to help me out with working on educational materials and a panel or event or some kind where homeowners and anyone interested can learn about native plant gardening, lawn alternatives, propagating trees and things like that, which I am REALLY hyped about
but for now i’ll just say this: growing plants should be the activity with the fewest financial barriers out of almost any activity. Trees and plants are free. Profit-seeking companies can convince us that we need to buy them, but they can’t actually put plants behind a paywall.
Like yes i know this is complex and access to space for gardening and cities don’t have enough green space and etc etc etc BUT. I would like everyone to know how to pull up a seedling they see in the sidewalk and nurture it into a tree. I think *everyone* should know that they CAN do this.
