I love when they do this 🐛🌿 #BlackSwallowtail #SwallowtailCaterpillar #Caterpillar #GardenLife #RelaxAndGarden

I don’t even mind sharing when the garden brings me moments like this. 💚 #Caterpillar #GardenLife #NatureMoment #BackyardGarden #RelaxAndGarden

There was way too much to fit into one short reel, so here’s the longer version. 💚 #GardenHarvest #GrowYourOwn #Homegrown #SummerGarden #RelaxAndGarden

There’s something so satisfying about bringing in food you grew yourself. 🌱💚 #GardenHarvest #GrowYourOwn #Homegrown #SummerGarden #RelaxAndGarden

Starting to fill out the trellis and put out more blooms😊 #ButterflyPea #GardenVibes #ClimbingPlants #GrowYourOwn #RelaxAndGarden

Watching them work their way through all these blooms was pretty amazing. 💚 #Swallowtail #GiantSwallowtail #Coneflower #PollinatorGarden #RelaxAndGarden

Started on one flower, hopped to another, then showed off those wings 😍 #Swallowtail #GiantSwallowtail #Coneflower #PollinatorGarden #RelaxAndGarden

Giant Swallowtail 🦋🌸 It kept working its way around this coneflower, stopping at every little spot #Swallowtail #GiantSwallowtail #Coneflower #PollinatorGarden #RelaxAndGarden

Whitened Bluewing 🦋 It looks black and white at first, then the sun hits it and suddenly it turns blue 💙✨ #WhitenedBluewing #Butterflies #ButterflyGarden #NatureMoments #RelaxAndGarden

I couldn’t stop watching this one 😍 #MalachiteButterfly #Butterflies #ButterflyGarden #GardenLife #RelaxAndGarden

Definitely one of my favorites! I couldn’t get over those colors and patterns up close. Green is my favorite color, so this one had my full attention 😍 #MalachiteButterfly #Butterflies #ButterflyGarden #GardenLife #RelaxAndGarden

Paper Kite butterfly 🤍 The little black markings on the wings were the first thing that caught my eye. At first, I thought they were tiny hearts, they’re so close to being heart shaped! 🖤 Getting to see one this close was pretty amazing. 🌸 #PaperKiteButterfly #ButterflyGarden #Butterf

This Paper Kite butterfly was one of the many beautiful butterflies I got to see at Butterflies & Blooms. Paper Kites are native to South and Southeast Asia and seeing one up close was pretty amazing! #PaperKiteButterfly #ButterflyGarden #Butterflies #GardenLife #RelaxAndGarden

Spent some time with the butterflies at Butterflies & Blooms at the botanic garden 🦋🌸 I could honestly stay there all day. They’re so beautiful and I could watch them fly around forever 💚 #Butterflies #ButterflyGarden #BotanicGarden #GardenLife #RelaxAndGarden

Beefsteaks, San Marzanos, cherry tomatoes, Woolly Kates, yellow pears, chocolate pears 🍅 and some peppers & cucumbers 🌶️🥒 I love this part of summer😁 #GardenHarvest #TomatoHarvest #GrowYourOwn #BackyardGarden #RelaxAndGarden

Picking a few tomatoes 🍅🌿 This plant has been doing so good this year! Video by my daughter 😊 #TomatoHarvest #GardenLife #GrowYourOwn #BackyardGarden #RelaxAndGarden

From fuzzy leaves to harvest day! My Woolly Kate tomatoes are finally ready 😁 #WoollyKateTomato #TomatoHarvest #GrowYourOwn #GardenJourney #RelaxAndGarden

Starting them earlier indoors was definitely worth it! Today I harvested 30 leeks and I’ll be freezing them for soups later this year 🥣 #LeekHarvest #GardenHarvest #GrowYourOwn #FromGardenToKitchen #RelaxAndGarden
