Playing with meadow signage, thank you @civicstudio.coop ! and @bayouclayart for meadow maintenance help yesterday. Lots of seeds!
Are you looking for some?
And check out the Virginian tiger moth that I disturbed while pulling up morning glory vines. Its caterpillar form is the yellow wooly bear.
The meadow is a small oasis even though the street can be busy, an island of biodiversity amidst blocks of asphalt and grass. Gentilly has many people gardening with the aim of maintaining species diversity - maybe we need a tour!

Today at the #nolawildflowermeadow we did a little thinning out and made some fabric sunprints (aka cyanotypes) with meadow plants, and other objects found on site.
And we listened to a fab water-related playlist!
Thanks to those who joined in and dm me if you want me to send you some photos - ❤️
