I get almost all of my seeds and plants from small independent farms and nurseries. There are many people around the world doing interesting things with plants. There are a lot of unique and interesting finds, including; natives, cut flowers, and food.

Cleaning and Capturing Nature
by GreatBlueAndy (Andy) near Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States — April 8, 2026 — Gave 8 Hours for Earth
Trigger Warning! (animals eating animals). I love being out in nature, but the trash spoiled my view. I started bringing a grabbing claw and bag on my paddles. To be honest, it's fun pulling mystery crap out of the water. While I'm out I like to do wildlife photography too. 4 hours/day for 2 days.
Last year I found a gravid timber rattlesnake (who I named Grenda), and I spent several months following her (from a safe distance) until I finally caught her in a crevice with seven newborn babies. Timbers have been depleted in my area by old poachers, so its very cool to see this regrowth.
I started volunteering at a wildlife center in my area (New Jersey)! I help clean enclosures, meal prep, do laundry, etc. I also recently decided to continue my education w/ a second undergrad in wildlife science once I finish my current undergrad. I'm too passionate not to go all in at this point!!
sewerslidal spider saviour
by sadiedasie near England, United Kingdom — April 7, 2026
I was having a bath last night and the spider that has frequented the bathroom for at least the last week tried to get in with me.... twice. Instead of letting it drown or killing it, i carefully scooped it up and took it to a room with decidedly fewer places it could drown
Baby Squirrel
by Twigs and Tinder near Kentucky, United States — April 6, 2026
We found a baby squirrel laying on our steps at work breathing, but not moving. We picked it up to save it from our dogs and called a wildlife rescue. They told us to nail a box to a tree with a squirrel nest and see if the mom would come get it. Unfortunately, she didn't so they came and rescued it
