Week 47: Scattering Native Seeds in Nature

A favorite book I read to my kids when they were young was called Miss Rumphius. In the story, the kids in her town knew her as the Lupine Lady because as she walked, she dropped seeds. When they asked her why, she said "to make the world a more beautiful place."

That was my inspiration for my filling a sugar container with native perennial seeds and shaking it as I walked the paths through my city near the creek and along fields. 

The soil was quite warm when the seeds were dropped and we are now expecting a week of rain so I'm hoping to have some follow-up photos of flowers to share soon!

And then more next Summer, and even more the Summer after that. Because this is a tradition I'm planning on continuing each year going forward.
