In autumn, the reason the leaves lose their green color is because trees reduce the production of chlorophyll during this time. This is why we see the beautiful autumn leaf colors. These colors are definitely inspiring for this project, and I really like them. #VeganPlaygroundLA #VeganFoodFestival #VeganEatsLA #LAFoodies #VeganCommunity #PlantBasedLA #VeganFun #ArtsDistrictLA #VeganVibes #EcoFriendlyEvents #VeganBrews #FamilyFriendlyLA #SupportSmallBusinessLA #VeganMarkets

It's a bittersweet tale of tradition versus transformation as the Menton lemon, a citrus jewel once flourishing on the French Riviera, faces the squeeze of urban development and climate concerns. 🍋🏗️ [#MentonLemon]() [#SustainableAgriculture](#SustainableAgriculture) [#ClimateChange](#ClimateChange) The Menton lemon, with its unique fragrance and flavor, is not just a fruit—it's a cultural icon, a slice of heritage. Yet, the pressures of urban expansion and the looming shadow of climate change threaten this agricultural marvel. Once covering the hillsides in golden hues, these citrus groves are now a rarity, with only 56 producers keeping the tradition alive. The story of the Menton lemon is emblematic of broader environmental challenges: the conflict between economic development and the preservation of biodiversity and traditional practices. As climate change intensifies, these precious cultivars could face even greater threats, from altered weather patterns to new pests and diseases. What's heartening, though, is the resilience and adaptability of the growers, who, despite the odds, continue to cultivate the Menton lemon, ensuring its legacy endures. It's a reminder that sustainable practices and local stewardship can help safeguard our natural and cultural treasures against the tide of modernity and environmental upheaval. As we celebrate the Menton lemon's rich history, let's also commit to supporting sustainable agriculture that respects the land and its legacy. After all, every lemon from Menton is more than just a zesty flavor—it's a story of the earth, of tradition, and of the delicate balance we must maintain to preserve our planet's diverse bounty. 🌍🌱 For more on this story, visit [ABC News]().

🐝 Did you know that Dandelions tend to grow in poor soil quality. By leaving them to do their thing, the root system can help improve your soil. If the leaf structure is low and flat to the ground it's just beginning it's work, as it starts to bunch upwards it's an indication of the end of its growth cycle. We're approaching 'No mow May' and Dandelions are a vital source for our emerging pollinators in the spring. If Dandelions don't offend you, then please leave them Bee.🐝 Check out how Biffa are supporting wildlife corridors across the UK to support vital pollinators #biffabees #nomowmay 🐝 https://lnkd.in/eckY4Sqn

I have a confession to make! Until this weekend, I thought the bright yellow dandelion flowers and their fluffy white seed heads were two different plants! 🤦♂️ This stunning time-lapse reveals the transformation of their vivid yellow flowers into the iconic white seed heads that disperse in the wind, beautifully symbolising the cycles of nature found right on our doorstep, in our gardens and parks. While many see dandelions as weeds due to their resilience and prolific seed spreading, these plants are remarkably well-designed by nature and have much to offer: 🐝 The Early Pollinator: Emerging in early spring when few other flowers bloom, dandelions provide crucial nectar for bees and other pollinators, playing a vital role in our ecosystem. 🥗 Culinary Use: Rich in nutrients from root to flower, dandelions can be transformed into delicious salads, teas, and even dandelion wine, demonstrating their culinary versatility. 💊 Health Benefits: Loaded with vitamins A, C, K, and minerals like iron and potassium, dandelions when eaten can support the body and promote liver health and digestion. 🌬️ Symbol of Resilience: Culturally, (as we‘ve experienced) blowing away a dandelion’s seeds is a gesture of making wishes for growth, resilience, and new beginnings. 🌿 Environmental Indicator: Dandelions act as bioindicators, signaling the health of our soil and the conditions of our local environments. Next time you spot this plant, take a moment to appreciate not just its beauty but also the value it brings and lessons it offers in resilience and interconnectedness.

Did you know that of around 50 flowers on the clementine tree, only 5 fruits may grow? 🍊 Nature's efficiency never ceases to amaze me, and the clementine tree provides a perfect example of this phenomenon. As we marvel at the vibrant blooms currently adorning our orange and clementine trees, it's fascinating to consider the journey each blossom undertakes, culminating in the fruition of only a select few. It's one reason why, Corsican Clementines are such a premium and sought after fruit. The clementine tree, a member of the citrus family, undergoes a meticulous process of natural and untreated pollination and fruit development. While it may seem like an abundance of flowers adorns the tree, the reality is that only a small fraction will transform into the coveted fruits we enjoy. Why does this happen? Nature's meticulous planning plays a significant role. Each flower serves as a potential site for pollination, but factors such as weather conditions, availability of pollinators like bees, and the tree's resources influence the outcome. Only the most resilient and opportune flowers will successfully undergo pollination and develop into fruits. This selective process ensures that the tree optimizes its resources, channeling energy and nutrients into the fruits with the highest chance of maturation. It's a testament to nature's efficiency, where every resource is carefully allocated to maximize the tree's reproductive success. As we admire the beauty of the clementine tree in full bloom, let's also appreciate the intricate dance of nature unfolding before our eyes. From the delicate petals to the juicy fruits, each step in the process reflects the remarkable balance and efficiency of our natural world. By the time November comes and you are biting into a sweet, juicy clementine, take a moment to ponder the journey it undertook – from a humble blossom among many to a prized fruit bursting with flavour. Nature's economy is truly a marvel to behold, reminding us of the intricate interplay of life and the awe-inspiring efficiency embedded within it. Check out our website for more Corsican Clementine information https://lnkd.in/dJq4F8XU And feel free to share your thoughts, questions and insights in the comments below! Let's celebrate the wonders of nature together. 🌿✨ #CorsicanClementines #Nature #Efficiency #ClementineTree #FruitDevelopment #Pollination #Biodiversity

Hello there, green thumbs and nature lovers! 🌱 Today we're buzzing about one topic that’s sweet, complex, and vital to our ecosystem - Honey 🍯! Let's take a flight with our buzzing little friends, the bees, and delve into the fascinating world of honey making. • Did you know, our fuzzy pollinators— yes, the bees! — visit approximately 2 million flowers to gather enough nectar to make just one pound of honey? Talk about busy bees! 🐝 • Honey comes in flavor-notes as diverse as the flowers from which it emerges. Wildflower honey, clover honey, lavender honey- each with its distinctive taste and aroma. Much like a fine wine, but without the hangover! 🌸 Without these industrious insects, we wouldn't have this liquid gold on our tables. But it's not all about us humans, honey also serves as the perfect energy-rich food for bees, especially during those chilly winter months. This golden elixir carries remarkable health benefits too! • It's a natural antioxidant 🍯 + 💪 = 😊. • It’s a brilliant energy source. • It soothes coughs better than over-the-counter medicines. • And hey, it’s a versatile beauty ingredient- great for skin and hair! Plus, the aspect that has dessert enthusiasts swooning - Honey never spoils! Archaeologists have even found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible. Now that's what we call a sweet surprise! But as we bask in the glory of honey, let’s spare a thought for our winged warriors. Their contribution to biodiversity and food security is priceless and yet, their existence is at risk with shrinking green spaces and the ever-growing might of climate change. As ‘The Lost Garden’ enthusiasts, we encourage all of you to do your bit. Plant more nectar-rich flowers. Avoid pesticides. Support your local beekeepers. Together, let’s ensure our little pollinators keep humming their tune of ecological balance. 🐝 #EmbraceNature #SaveTheBees #HoneyFacts #LostGarden #SustainableLiving

POST 2/3 [Continue] 08. International Seeds Day (Raise awareness about the importance of seeds in our lives and the need to preserve seed diversity. It is a day to celebrate the wonder of seeds, the foundation of our food systems and the basis of all life on Earth. This day advocates for patent-free seeds, organic food, and farmers' rights). 09. International Flamingo Day (Celebrating the iconic pink bird, flamingos or flamingoes are a type of wading bird in the Phoenicopteridae family, the only extant family in the order Phoenicopteriformes. There are four flamingo species distributed throughout the Americas and two species native to Afro-Eurasia. A group of flamingoes is called a "flamboyance”. The day is commemorated on the birthday of John James Audubon, an American painter and ornithologist who produced a picture of the American [Caribbean] flamingo for the book "The Birds of America”). 10. Hairball Awareness Day (Formation of hairballs is a common feline condition brought on by self-grooming and the associated ingestion of hair. Cats pass the hair through their digestive tract or will vomit the hairball. If they don't eliminate the hairball from their digestive tract one way or the other, hairballs can create an obstruction. Obstructions can cause serious medical issues for a cat). 11. International Viognier Day (Viognier is a textural white wine grape used to make Condrieu wine in the Rhône Valley, France. The Viognier grape produces full-bodied wines with natural aromatics such as notes of peach, pears, violets and minerality. It is naturally a low-yielding variety; its quality depends on viticultural practices and climate). 12. Richter Scale Day (Born on this day in 1900, Charles Francis Richter invented the Richter magnitude scale in 1935, measuring the earthquake intensity. The scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake on a logarithmic scale of 0 to 10. Each number on the scale refers to an event 10 times more powerful than an event with a number before it).
