@scott@carfree.city"The forest gardens were filled with plants that benefited humans, but they also continue to provide food for birds, bears, and insect pollinators, even after 150 years of neglect."
Notice how this debunks mainstream conservationism's dichotomy between "wild" land conserved for the environment's sake, and land developed for human use. Here, human activity improved the land's use both for humans AND the wider web of life we're part of.

@scott@carfree.cityOne of the sidewalk gardens on my block has something coming up with Oxalis leaves that seem too big to be the bad Oxalis (Bermuda buttercup). I hope it's somehow redwood sorrel:

@awinkler@openbiblio.social"This week, a report from Royal Botanic Gardens (RBG), Kew revealed the crucial role digitisation is playing in “transforming our ability to understand and respond to the climate and biodiversity crises”, but it was the creation of the BHL 20 years ago that first demonstrated how bringing centuries of scientific knowledge online can unlock transformative discoveries and insights about the natural world."

@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itI couldn't care less about a bunch of rich people in Brooklyn, I just read the article for the delicious drama. However, about halfway through the article, I started to see so many #FreeSoftware parallels.
1) Volunteers spend countless unpaid hours creating/maintaining something to better their community.
2) For-profit business packages it up as part of their offering.

"For organizations, it's a separate process, and it's not something community gardens have to do, but we chose to do it. It's been an enormous amount of work to try to get the process put together."

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsRunning independent websites is like planting flowers in front of your plot, on the public lane that the municipality doesn't care about.
You have to deal with people trampling over them because the pavement is not wide enough for their groups. The junk flying over from the nearby supermarket. Asshole neighbor throwing empty alcohol bottles out. Dog shit. And if you succeed nevertheless, people will just come over and dig it all out, to take into their own gardens.
And then some bright libertarian will come and tell you that you should be grateful and praise their ingenuity.

@colinpurrington@flipping.rocksJust a reminder that gardening centers will happily sell you plants such as Pelargonium citrosum that are supposedly able to repel mosquitoes. But don't be suckered. No plant has that ability even if thousands of Pinterest pages insist it's true. #mosquitoes #gardening #gardens #plants

@kazys@mastodon.socialMy latest essay was supposed to be a brief piece on 3 gardens in Kyoto (Shōsei-en, Saihō-ji, and
Matsunoo Taisha). Being a historian, I couldn't resist going down a rabbit hole about the development of the "zen garden" as a concept in the 1930s. That's the way these things go. Link in the comments.
@jby@ecoevo.socialThis Earth Day, I'm grateful for the many different ways I get to encounter the living world, from wild landscapes to manicured gardens, from trees by the sidewalk to protected green spaces
