The beauty of people and nature is that we are resilient. In a world that gets rocked the way IAN rolled in, it can be soothing to watch nature return.
When we take care of Nature, we are building a future for everything, people, plants and pollinators, a place for quiet reflection, serenity and beauty.
While I was tending to my own garden after the Hurricane, I was saddened that I lost one of the favorite host plants for Sulphur butterflies, and at the same time over joyed that the Monarchs were back and laying eggs on the milkweed. Now I’m not sure I’ll have enough milkweed but that’s always a good problem to solve.
While the Collier County Gardens are healing themselves with a little help from our gardeners and friends, please know that we are thinking about you and hope you’ll visit soon.
