šŸŒ± Exciting news from our Little Free Libraryā€” šŸŒ± Exciting news from our Little Free Libraryā€”itā€™s now a Seed Library too!ā  ā  Thanks to our amazing educators, weā€™ve stocked a basket full of native plant seeds for you to take and grow. By sharing native seeds, weā€™re helping to grow a stronger network of plants that support pollinators, wildlife, and healthy ecosystems throughout our community.ā  ā  Youā€™ll find the Seed Library at the north point of our Woodland Loop Trail (map at bhnp.org). Stop by to pick up a packetā€”or leave some of your own to share. Letā€™s grow something beautiful together! šŸ’ž

Their expertise in regenerative, edible landscapes aligns perfectly with our mission of environmental stewardship.ā  ā  With this upgrade, our gardenersā€”including those growing vegetables for donation to St. Lukeā€™s Crossroads Kitchenā€”can count on a reliable harvest, free from unexpected deer taste-tests. ā  ā  Huge thanks to Abundance for their thoughtful work!

We're so excited to see this year's upgraded garden in bloom! šŸŒ»šŸŒŗšŸ„¬

šŸŒ± It's really the little things that make the w šŸŒ± It's really the little things that make the world go 'round šŸ’šā  ā  Recently, our longtime supporters Sue and Gordon Certain stopped by with a special giftā€”seeds from native pollinator plants they help grow at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta. They collected seeds from Coneflower, Yarrow, Blazing star, and more, and donated them to be planted in our Meadow for Monarchs along Roswell Road and Lakemoore Drive.ā  ā  With every seed, we are expanding wildlife corridors, strengthening habitats, and weaving a richer network of life. Native plants donā€™t just bring beautyā€”they provide food, shelter, and essential pathways for pollinators, birds, and countless other creatures who rely on these landscapes to thrive.ā  ā  Thank you, Sue and Gordon, for helping us grow not just flowers, but a flourishing future for the wildlife we are so devoted to protecting. šŸŒæšŸšŸŒŽā  ā  Curious about our Meadow for Monarchs?
