Not a vain effort, Maureen. Every little gesture helps more than if no gesture was made at all. Native plant gardening is a good start. Set an example and spread the word! 🙂
Thank you for re-blogging this, Eliza 😉
You’re welcome, I couldn’t have expressed it any better!
Thank you, Eliza- we’re of one mind on this topic, as on so many others 😉
Yes, indeed!
