Hosta Voyager is one of my faves, not just because it’s pretty to view but because of its Star Trek reference! It’s right up there with Captain Kirk, Starship Enterprise, and Vulcan!

The last of which I have available my Etsy shop!

Only one more Guacamole left in our Etsy shop! Get it before it’s gone! It’s so big now, we upgraded it to a gallon-sized pot!

🐍 FRIEND OR FOE? FRIEND! 💚

Look who we found in the garden! This little beauty is a Ring-necked Snake (Diadophis punctatus)—harmless to people and a welcome garden resident.

These small, secretive snakes spend much of their time under leaves, logs, rocks, and soil. They help keep populations of slugs, earthworms, insects, and other small garden critters in check.

That bright little ring around the neck is one of their most recognizable features. So if you find one in your garden, let it be—it’s doing its part to help the ecosystem! 🌿🐍

Friend or foe? FRIEND! 💚

Ornamental Ginger is one of those plants that makes the garden feel extra special. 🌿✨ Its beautiful blooms are a feast for the eyes, but the fragrance is what really steals the show—sweet, warm, and absolutely lovely when you’re near it.

A beautiful addition to a garden for both color and fragrance! 💚
