Sunset Farmstead is a family owned and operated perennial nursery focused on plants that provide the optimum pollinating environment for honey bees, butterflies, birds, and other native pollinators. In addition to pollinizing perennials we are also a small apiary. Our aim is to operate a sustainable nursery using no chemical herbicides or pesticides, and only recycled planting materials. We pride ourselves on the health and quality of our plants.

Today should be the day that this Monarch emerges from its chrysalis!! The chrysalis looks thin and translucent. I’ll keep you posted!

On Wed we attended the NJNLA Summer Plant Symposium. I learned from Mt. Cuba Center that the denticulate longhorn bee specializes in pollinating Ironweed (Vernonia). They are easy to spot because they are black and white, the female will have white pollen sacks, and the male has long antennae (looks like horns). So I decided to check out the Ironweed we have planted in our display garden.
I FOUND THEM!! There’s a pic of the female, one of of the male, and the third is a pic with both the male and female. I was astonished!!! This goes to show you, if you plant it and you don’t spray pesticides, they will come and do what they’re supposed to do!!
And as I stood there looking at the bees, I found a Monarch chrysalis (about 5’ from the Milkweed in the same bed). How cool is nature?!?!
I hope this encourages you to plant 1 thing in your outdoor space and then sit back and observe what happens next. It’ll be cool. Just try it!
