Wild Rabbit Natives

Hey, E’rybody, what’s growin on?! In light of the current season I thought that I should send you a reminder that you should leave fallen leaves. They provide vital habitat for overwintering wildlife, including insects like butterflies and moths, as well as amphibians and small mammals. They also act as a natural mulch, enriching the soil with nutrients as they decompose, retaining soil moisture, and suppressing weeds. Also, leave your spent plant stems and blooms. Certain insects will use the hollow stems to hibernate in. Ditch social gardening norms and Let’s Get Wild! 🍂🍁🐝🪱🐛🦋🐌🐞🐜🪰🪲🪳🦟🦗🕷️🦎

Hey, everyone! What’s growin on?! While sitting on my front porch steps, enjoying my coffee, I see this guy. It sparkles in the sunlight due to silver metallic flecks. It’s beautiful! What is it? It’s a variegated fritillary caterpillar. This is why it’s important to not clean up your yard until spring. Soon, this critter will cocoon and emerge in the spring. Let your future butterflies rest this winter. You will not regret it. And, as always, let’s get wild!

Just an early heads-up that Pemberton's will be closed all day on Saturday, October 11th as we celebrate the wedding of our own Mack Herndon and Stella McIntyre! We hope you'll shop with us anytime before then. Thank you!

Wild Rabbit Natives is at the Paris, Bourbon Co Farmers Market today selling natives for $5 and $10. Come get your plants for next years blooms!

What’s growin’ on?! Wild Rabbit Natives plant nursery is happy to announce that it is now a Kentucky Proud business . I will be starting contract growing for clients this fall/winter. Stay tuned for forthcoming details and let’s get wild!

We’ve been extremely busy behind the scenes and we’re so excited to launch Candle of the Month!! 🖤 This is a brand-new series with 12 unique scents each year, one for every month, and available only for the month!

Each candle captures the feeling of its month from cozy winter blends to fresh spring florals, golden summer sunsets to crisp fall vibes. Once the month is gone, so is the candle! Every year will have new scents. Each month's scent will be announced towards the end of the prior month, then we will begin shipping after the 1st!

Want to make sure you don’t miss a single one? For the first time, we’re now offering prepurchase bundles! Available in 3, 6, or 12 month options, each bundle includes either 10, 15, or 20% off each candle PLUS reduced shipping!

Limited pours each month. First scent drops now!

August's candle wraps you in golden light, like sun-warmed linen on a clothesline. Notes of cotton blossom and sweet coconut drift on a breeze of citrus and sun-kissed earthy undertones. It’s the carefree glow of summer! 🌼🧡

Notes: Cotton Blossom, Orange Peel, Lemon, Sweet Coconut, Tangerine, Musk, Wood

The native seed packet test bed is filling out nicely. Next year I should see the purple cone flowers in bloom. This year it’s been yarrow and black-eyed susans. There has been a lot of butterfly activity. 😊

If you bought any of my seed packets, and you plan to plant this fall, this is what next June will look like for you. The black-eyed Susan’s and yarrow are in bloom right now.
