This softshell turtle was taking a slow stroll through our nursery...probably shopping for shade trees.

Leaf by Leaf: Book Club Recap 🌳📚 We had such a wonderful time at our very first #LeafByLeaf gathering!

A group of 11 readers (9 in person, 2 virtually) joined us to explore The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben...a fascinating look into how trees feel, communicate, and thrive in the forest. 🌲

With yummy food and drinks to keep us fueled, and some thoughtful, fun questions from Maggie to guide the conversation, we dug deep into the secret world of trees together.

Thank you to everyone who came and made it special! We can’t wait for the next one this fall, when we’ll be reading Serviceberry. Stay tuned for details. New readers are always welcome! 💚

This land is your land, and this land is my land F

This land is your land, and this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters
This land was made for you and me

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
And I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me

I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
All around me a voice was a-sounding
This land was made for you and me

There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me
Sign was painted, said, “Private Property”
But on the back side, it didn’t say nothing
This land was made for you and me

When the sun comes shining, then I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice come chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me

This land is your land, and this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters
This land was made for you and me

We had a lovely day with Nina @beautyandthefeastgarden and Rick @landscapeillinois adventuring around our farm, garden, and nursery! From chatting about our favorite herbs and veggies, to exploring the treasures of the woods, lunch under the Sugar Maple, seeing our majestic bald eagle’s nest, and catching up on what’s going on in the field - we had a delightful time! Perfect weather and great company, we couldn’t ask for a better visit! 🌳🍃🧑‍🌾🌞🫛🌽🦅🌾💚
