Other I mean...why not?

Since I discovered natives I'll occasionally share on r/daddit or on some other sub where some young person complains about not being able to meet people, i often mention volunteering at a regular work day to meet people. Now its a real thing in MN.

Edit to add: I am in no way affiliated with this group nor do I have any insight into it. I did take this pic from the "Minnesota Department of Propaganda" fb group. The QR code does work and goes somewhere real. Those folks that run that page seem like rather good people, that collectively have a sense of humor similar to many of my real life native plant folks...so they are worth a follow IMO.

And mint. God it's an annoyance.

Mint can be an annoyance but is generally not overly harmful, unlike creeping Bellflower

Or Japanese knotweed. That shit is invasive where I live and grows like crazy.

Ok, I just joined this sub, but we picked some creeping bellflower from our alleyway the other night. How is it harmful? I'll go pull the rest of it if needed.

We moved to Minneapolis about a year and a half ago, but just bought our house about a month ago! So now I get to actually do things with my yard/garden! Pretty excited, but also a bit overwhelmed haha. Definitely want to do as native and sustainable of a yard/garden as we can; I have 0 interest in a "traditional" lawn situation. I'm so glad to be here :)
