DiscOasis. It's an oasis of disco in an otherwise disco-less land. Open until Labor Day at South Coast Botanic Garden.

City Nature Challenge Wrap-up

May 14, 2021May 10, 2021 by Scott Dee, posted in Events, Nature Appreciation, South Bay

The City Nature Challenge is over! I can't wait until next year, to check up on how these plants are doing. And to add a few more to my collection. Congratulations to everyone who took part! I'm always so happy when a big number of people turn out for nature.

The GLOW Fades

January 11, 2021April 2, 2021 by Scott Dee, posted in Events, South Coast Botanic Garden

After a couple months of GLOW at South Coast Botanic Garden, it's time to look back at the light and the music. (For those who didn't attend - it's a walking / music / plant / light show with a water theme)

GLOW – at SCBG

December 5, 2020April 2, 2021 by Scott Dee, posted in Events, South Coast Botanic Garden

Glow is happening at SCBG until January 10th, 2021. If you want to take a break from being stuck indoors - or take a break from more 'normal' plants - swing on by the garden to see the foliage in a new light! (Yes, that was a pun)

I hope these hummingbirds' momma doesn't freak out too much!
I've started loving a muted color palette after spending some time wilderness camping. The plants, rocks, even the earth underneath it all is thriving with its tan palette. I wonder how much the color changes when there's rain!
Two things that you have to do during a Maine autumn -
Some more amazing fall colors in Boston! We don't get anything like that in SoCal, and especially not in front of lovely brick buildings.
There's some wonderfully subtle (and not so subtle) plant life around the Harvard area, even as winter starts its approach.
Always a fan of finding Ginkgo trees in the city! 🍂 They're such sturdy sulfer-eaters. 🌲 We could do with more of these trees in LA. They might clean up some of the smog!
Finally got around to making some salsa with the Shishito peppers! It turned out quite well, and not nearly as spicy as expected.
Always loving the hikes with the Sierra Club!
Found this ferocious beast growing next to the olive tree. I was told that having mushrooms in soil indicates high nutrients - and here I'd been thinking it was about time to fertilize.
