Today, March 14 2019, the flying painted acrobats are back on Shaw Island after their long journey from their wintering grounds in the south. The male Rufous Hummingbirds arrive a few weeks ahead of the gals, a late occurrence this year.

In celebration of gardens and wild botanicals of Shaw Island, please view photos, cultural, and historical notes for seeds from a cross-section of island gardens and wild places. The posts listed here aid in cultivating the herbs and flower seeds bound in handmade packets at the shed along Reefnet Bay Road, in the spring, summer, and fall. There are also a few articles in the history timeline that help us remember some of the pioneer gardeners and the crops they grew.
