native gardens save lives✨

2024/7/9 Edited to

... Read moreCreating native gardens not only supports local wildlife but also contributes to environmental health. Native plants require less water and are adapted to local conditions, making them easier to maintain. By incorporating a variety of native species, you can attract beneficial insects such as pollinators, which are crucial for the ecosystem. Additionally, planting dead wood and allowing natural decomposition creates natural habitats for insects and birds, fostering a rich biodiverse environment. In your quest to maintain a native garden, consider using mulch to protect your plants, reducing soil erosion, and retaining moisture. Implementing natural pest control techniques—such as introducing beneficial insects or using organic repellents—can mitigate pest issues without harming local wildlife. If you're new to gardening, explore resources and local workshops for guidance on best practices for planting and maintenance. Engage with your community by participating in local gardening clubs, and share your progress on social media under relevant hashtags like #nativegarden and #gardeningforbeginners. Through education, community involvement, and a commitment to ecological responsibility, your native garden can thrive and support the local ecosystem, making a lasting impact on both environment and wildlife.

Why I stopped wearing Native deodorant
(Pic is not mine) Okay so don’t get me wrong, Native has some REALLY good smelling deodorant scents, but they also have shampoos, conditioners, and body washes with the exact same scents. The reason why Native deodorant just doesn’t work is because it’s aluminum free. Aluminum is what’s used
