Rec | AMATEUR BOTANY

🌿

This is some highkey nerd shit that I honestly don’t talk about much 🙈 But getting into botany has changed my life and this summer especially I‘ve seen some really incredible plants/habitats. I visited an “extreme rich fen” ecosystem here in CO last month that is home to 14 rare plant species - and I got to see most of them! 🥲 Pictured below is Primula egaliksensis which only grows in two places in the contiguous U.S. Anyways highly rec wandering around outside in remote, beautiful places to look for plants. It has given me a whole other level of awareness and appreciation for the land I call home 💞

PUBLIC GARDENS!!

I’ve recc’d this before but I am so incredibly lucky to be in this industry/community. My co-workers and I are at the annual conference in Denver and it’s my first time at the Denver Botanic Garden and the importance of public gardens is just ugh! The education and conservation work that happens at these places, and the healing that happens in these nature spaces, is honestly amazing and it feels incredible to be apart of something important.

Looking at plants

Channeling that glorious day we had here last Sunday as I chug through the rest of the work week. There’s just something so soothing about being in a greenhouse observing the natural world.

TOUCHING PLANTS

Idk plants are just everywhere, like just growing all around us and we don’t really take the time to engage with them but we should cause like, some of them are just being beautiful for our pleasure, and then some of them help grow the foods we eat, and even more of them keep our air clean Touching plants is super neat and makes you feel really good so I highly recommend taking a walk and touching every plant you feel intrigued by or curious about
