All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Please don't plant invasives. Many invasives can be more harmful for pollinators than they are beneficial. Many insects, especially, butterflies and moths, are very specific with their host plants and if they lay their eggs on the wrong plant the caterpillars will all die. Look up native flowering plants for pollinators near you.
