There is a party crasher in town, and you may have seen him at your bird feeder. The Cooper’s hawk is a small bird of prey who likes to swoop in and spoil the fun of all the other birds eating seed, oblivious to any threat that may come from above. Like all good party crashers, the hawk is quick and quiet, arriving without much fanfare. He is hoping to catch a small bird for his dinner and then head on his way. You will know he has visited if you see a pile of feathers where a bird once sat, or realize the birds have all flown off having caught a glimpse of a Cooper’s hawk in the neighborhood.

The Plant Lounge is hosting a plant swap event to bring the community together. A plant swap is an event where you bring your plants, propagations, cuttings – anything that no longer brings you joy, or you just don’t want anymore, and you can trade with other plant lovers. Plants MUST be pest free in order to qualify to “sit at the table.” Someone will be available to inspect if you need assistance. Do you grow rare plant varieties or sell nature-inspired items? Please reach out to Tracey if you’d like to register to be a vendor: text (855) 984-1625. We’re not just swapping plants; we’re cultivating friendships.
