Native bee spotted!! This metallic green beauty is a Homalictus bee, native to Australia, and pollinating my calendula (marigolds) like a pro! This small suburban garden used to have only 6 species - lawn, an apple tree, white bird of paradise, and a couple of shrubs. Now, it has over 50 species just in the area surrounding the lawn! I simply lost count! Adding a native and exotic biodiverse edge to your lawn is a simple way to add gorgeous flowers and attract native pollinators to your garden, and your neighbourhood. Thank you, bees, for pollinating my veggie patch this summer!I will plant more flowers for you this autumn!

P.s. I am very open to alternative IDs on my bee, as I'm a botanist but only an insect enthusiast!

Have a lovely Easter weekend! 🐣🐝🌱

Wishing everyone a happy new year! I travelled and saw many beautiful natural areas for the New Year's period, and it's so cleansing and connecting to be in nature - definitely refreshing having a swim in that ice-cold water! I hope you are also feeling refreshed and ready for a new year - perhaps with resolutions to be more eco friendly, or to connect more with yourself or with nature. Post your resolutions below!

Need more time for yourself or your family? I can help make your garden low-maintenance, so it's beauty doesn't need mowing or watering every week.

Or perhaps you'd like to create habitat for our unique native animals and insects? There will be posts this year to suggest beautiful flowering plants to do just this! These can even support predators and pollinators to help your veggie patch!

Wanting to learn more about traditional plants and their uses? Native medicinal and edible plants are truly fascinating, and I'm grateful for the knowledge I've gained from local Kaurna people and further afield, who have that continued connection to the land and have shared this with others.

Happy gardening!
Love Ida, your friendly neighbourhood botanist
