Gardening makes me feel so powerful. I can, with my own hands and careful usage of my brain, affect the environment so an area is populated by plants that I desire to be there, which will give me so much food I will be safe and secure for the entire year? I can change an area so it feeds me? By putting my hands in the soil and knowing how to anticipate the rain and where the roots are likely to grow and how long it takes to get a seed to fruition? I can do this with minimal effort and by adding organic matter to an area that will stop all other plants from growing, and fertilize my plants, so only my plants succeed? I can, on top of that, have all kinds of flowers growing in it, making it beautiful to me and helping all kinds of little bugs and critters have a home? I can do it in a way that makes the land even more fertile and healthy? And I'm not some sort of a deity?
Being able to control an area of land and make it into what you need to survive is powerful. Seeing it in your head and then watching it happen by the work of your own two hands is invigorating. Some things we cannot change. But we can change the area immediately around us so it both feeds us, and become beautiful and rich to us.

Sometimes people forget that hippies were also the boomer generation. Sure, many hippies went staid and became 'Okay Boomers', but no small number of them just went underground, or turned a little weird.
Now that they're older and DGAF and seeing what they and their generation have made of the world, those former-hippies are growing back into their weirdness. Welcome them and don't forget that they have experiences to teach us "younger gens" too!
Mom sent me a facebook link to a PBS news hour post about how the anti-lawn movement is growing. The vast majority of the comments on it were stuff like this:

Most people are on our side here, even the so-called "boomers." We just have to be spreading ecological knowledge and practical means of creating useful habitat in back yards! Educate! Protect! Resist!

Regenerative Gardening and Regenerative Agriculture
In order to move towards a positive future for all, we need to embrace a regenerative rather than an extractive mindset. Working with cyclical systems, working with nature, we need to remember the importance of giving back, keeping those cycles turning rather than simply taking all that we can get. Regenerative gardening and farming go beyond food production that can endure. They emphasise the…

This article perfectly captures my frustrations with looking into native plants. there are just so few of them that aren't imported and they're not sold locally usually which is ridiculous
lets start planting native plants again yall

Hello Fellow Growers
My name is Bernie and I believe in a future world where small local growers will be serving a significant percentage of food needed by our community.
But in order for that to happen we need to make this economically viable for them to do so. This post is the start or our journey.
Do you also believe?

Last month's Seedy Saturday event was a resounding success, with about a dozen vendors and half a dozen presenters/workshop instructors sharing their wealth of gardening knowledge with members of my community. Notable items included the community's seed library, a vendor of permaculture crops (pictured above are skirret, Chinese artichoke, and oca), and seeds from various producers around the region. The lecture centered around using seaweed as a fertilizer was most popular- the lecture hall even ran out of seats!

I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.
I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."
Feel free to repost, no need for credit

BTW, the belief that you have to leave where you are and go somewhere in order to connect with nature is part of the problem. You can literally connect with nature anywhere; yes, even in an urban environment. You have birds, bugs, plants, weather, seasons, etc. A lot of people need to stop thinking of nature as something out there and start recognizing that it's something that's already right here.
