Big thanks to master weed warrior Danna McCormick @rockcreekimages and amazing volunteers from the community for removing dozens of large invasive honeysuckle shrubs (and vines) this weekend!
Come springtime, with plans from @hawthornegardendesign, we`ll be planting native trees and shrubs in these newly-cleared areas. #volunteer #invasivespecies #nativeplants #lovetregaron
Every spring and fall, Tregaron volunteers host students from our local elementary school for storytime and guided hikes. It means a lot to see the students delight in nature learning AND bringing it back to the classroom to create art and poetry! #naturelearning #outdoorclassroom #naturelovers #getoutside #lovetregaron
Today we`re celebrating the birthday of Ellen Biddle Shipman, 1869-1950. Shipman began her career rather late, but soon became known as "the dean of women landscape architects." She was part of the first generation of women to break into a largely male profession. Shipman lectured widely and ultimately designed over 600 gardens across the U.S. Tregaron (then The Causeway estate) was the largest of her "wild garden" designs, and it is the only one that is still open to the public. We draw inspiration from her design genius every day. #landscapearchitecture #gardendesign #landscapedesign #thisplacematters #lovetregaron
