Enjoying some native flowering shrubs in the woods surrounding our neighborhood on my morning dog walk. The pink is a native azalea and the white is a black haw.

While I have been busy working in others’ gardens, my own woodlands is waking up. I’m glad I was able to spend some time out there today so I didn’t miss my ephemerals.

🌳🌿 The Maryland Department of Agriculture has officially updated its invasive plant law, with enforceable changes. Several invasive plants are now prohibited from sale or acquisition, including Japanese barberry, burning bush, Bradford pear, nandina, Scotch broom, multiple bamboo species, privet, bee-bee tree, and all Japanese/Chinese/hybrid wisteria, with a phase-out period of 1 year for potted plants and 2 years for in-ground plants. You may still see them sold temporarily. After the phase-out ends, selling these plants is illegal and should be reported. These species were previously Tier 2 and are the first to be fully prohibited under the new system. In 2026, additional species like English ivy, butterfly bush, mimosa, periwinkle, orange daylily, Japanese honeysuckle, Norway maple, and more will be assessed. Use this information to prioritize removing invasive plants from your yard, ensure landscapers aren’t installing them, and choose native alternatives. Many invasives spread aggressively and harm local ecosystems. 🌱 🌎💚 (See our next post for 24 free landscaping plans for native plants)

Good morning, temps are getting chilly but the bees still need the flowers. Native asters are a great flower for fall that provide nutrition for the bees and butterflies.

Why have just plain grass that offers nothing to the ecosystem when we can provide food for the bees, birds and butterflies along with beautiful plants. This is the before and after of the Patriots Glen entrance in Elkton which I transitioned for the golf course this year.

Last year I was contacted to add some native/native cultivars to an a large area of a customer’s property. This year I had the pleasure of going back to do more work and see the results of last year’s labor. This is only one portion of last-year’s planting.

I just love the beautiful colors of Prickly Pear Cactus and the Sombrero cultivars of Echinacea.
