Continue ShoppingHave you heard of it? I first heard the term in another blog about our newest generation of gardeners. It is basically a trend where your growing space is returned to a more natural habitat that can provide food, water and shelter for all the living things in your garden; birds, small woodland creatures and of course pollinators.
From a design perspective it's all about putting Mother Nature in the driver's seat and, here is the hard part, letting go! Rewilding is about NOT being in control. What that means is less focus on hardscaping and more about introducing spaces that would be naturally occurring, like planting a native hedge instead of a traditional wood or metal fence. Or creating a meadow simply for pollinators, that requires less attention from human touch and can be over-planted to help control weeds.
Until recently, rewilding was a term reserved for large scale conservation projects. Restoring ecosystems to a point of balance , where it can take care of itself, and being able to reconnect with a natural world.
Over time I intend to introduce new garden spaces to our Cut Your Own Flower Garden, and this is high on the list for 2022. So Day 21 in our 24 Days of Giveaways is an escape to Stems Flower Farm. You will enjoy a Cut Your Own Experience for two people and as an added highlight, we will provide lunch while you’re here.
This prize is best suited for August or September of 2022.

I used to do a lot of hiking trips because I love mountains but this pandemic had made it difficult. I guess that’s why a lot of people have turned to plants during the pandemic as it’s one way to connect with nature. Something just do peaceful and exciting watching something grow.

Rewinding. Interesting. I think my backyard did that this year, if weeds and dead grass and bunnies count.

Working on rewilding my boulevards…letting small maple saplings thrive, pretty low-lying weeds are the ground cover, wispy grasses grow thick and overtake the thistles and dandelions naturally and the sticks and leaves that fall create a healthy mulch blanket!

I had not heard this term but love the idea. I guess that is what you would call one of the areas that I leave to naturalize on my little farm. It is filled with milkweed, goldenrod, asters and attracts lots of pollinators.
