A visiting cat, a dead chipmunk, and the responsibilities we carry for small lives.
Nolan Franklin
Gardener and writer in Brant County, Ontario, exploring native plants, pollinators, birds, ecological gardening, and ordinary yards becoming living places. Through seasonal change, care, and reflection, I write about fleeting moments, small lives, and the slow work of shaping a living garden rooted in place.

From the Gardener:
