We're Not Alone

Nature sees to it that there's more in the garden besides us and what we plant. A bristling burdock sprouted up right next to the trailhead. The fragrance of autumn olive and honeysuckle perfumes the air. Tasty wild cherries grow just across the path.

One of our younger gardeners built a house for toads to shelter while they eat bugs. Pests and their predators wander freely as we learn to meet Nature on her own terms.
