It has been good to regular practice this with a conscious mindset and take a breath and/or a pause when conversations might be challenging, uncomfortable or sometimes unexpected.

REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate & EcosystemsWhy is it important to take care of pollinators? Do you have a favorite pollinator?
Jo Gausden 4/07/2023 6:10 AMI love watching the bees around any of my pollinator plants, whether it is the spring/summer honeysuckle or the summer/autumn rudbeckia. When it's quiet in the garden you can hear their buzz and it's a wonderful natural sound :)
