An amazingly nutritious plant that most folks love to hate. But its healthy and medicinal properties have been important since ancient times. It contains 30-40 percent protein, non-heme iron, calcium, magnesium, and carotenoids. It is 4 times richer in Vitamin C than an orange. It can help with seasonal allergies, lower diabetic blood sugar, and more. As food and as medicine, the Stinging Nettle is definitely a plant to get to know well :)

Stinging nettle is a leafy herbaceous plant that grows as a wild green all over the world in mild to temperate climate zones. One of nature's top nutritive h...

Did you know?
80% of forests worldwide are gone.
58% of animals worldwide are gone.
82 countries out of 148 countries lying within the original forest zone have lost all their intact forest landscapes.
We have passed 440 ppm carbon in the atmosphere, well past maximum safe level.

Yet there is a way to feel hope and strength in the face of climate change. It's by taking meaningful action to create the world we want for future generations.

Each of us has an individual and collective responsibility to reforest our planet: to protect our one and only home and all that we know to be sacred.

Strategic tree planting takes carbon out of the atmosphere and is one now proven to be one of the top ten responses to climate change, and we are calling all women to stand with us. Together we can find our true power, strength, and unique expressions of feminine nature based leadership. We are the ones who can leave a better world for our grandchildren.

We know in our hearts that there is hope if we stand together.

I think this is just a lovely way to border an otherwise boring fence. Some have suggested using black bamboo as it doesn't spread as much, and that this is a good way to legal increase the height of your fence ;)

I thought it was painted at first .. pruned bamboo for fencetop privacy and wall art but as shown in this photo by Angus Weisz, ensure the Bamboo is kept well contained.
