My Sandhill Sanctuary Gardens

My Sandhill Sanctuary Gardens Life began in a Garden. God created us to be stewards of His creation and to feed, heal, clothe, and comfort ourselves from these abundant blessings.

Sandhill Sanctuary Gardens is my effort at stewardship. It is my sincere hope that all who pass through this garden gate will find inspiration for his/her own sanctuary from the world.

🌸Late summer is pretty in pink! 🌸

If you've been seeing pretty pink milkweed in ditches and wet areas, it's probably Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata). Because of its bright pink flowers and its contribution to monarch and other pollinators, it is becoming increasingly popular with native plant gardeners.

Little known fact about this plant, the roots are eaten by muskrats and young shoots and leaves in early spring are browsed by rabbits and deer.

As August comes to a close, let us remember to continue tending our summer-weary gardens. The migrating birds and butterflies need flowers for fuel stops along the journey. The Silver-spotted Skipper pictured here hangs around all year, but the locals need nectar, too. This time between summer's bounty and fall's last flush is critical to next year's survival. So, keep those zinnias watered!
