AltadenaMaid

Thank you so much for your 5-star review! It's great to be back after what's been a horrible year for so many from Altadena. And, thanks for planting milkweed to support Monarchs! Their low numbers are of special concern in the western US, and they need all the milkweed and wildflowers we can provide them! Thanks again, and all the very best - René

Hi N - thank you so very much for your review! The Eaton fire took everything from many in Altadena, myself included. I hope to be able to rebuild and to restart all of my activities, including AltadenaMaid, as soon as possible. It’s all truly devastating, but as the 8-foot-tall, 50-foot-long banner I dreamed of, had created, and then installed with friends reminds the community and the world, we are Altadena Strong, and We *Will* Rebuild! Thanks again, René

Hi Steve - thanks for your 5-star review, and enjoy your new milkweed when it’s up and growing! I hope to be able to return soon! Thanks again, and all the very best - René

Thank you so very much for your 5-star review - I *really* appreciate it! And, enjoy supporting plenty of pollinators with your new wildflowers! This is a great mix that provides both sustenance and habitat for pollinators - it's a true pollinators' paradise! Thanks again, and all the very best - René

Hi David - Thanks so much for your 5-star review! This is the best time of the year to get your milkweed mix out and about, letting the Winter rains do the hard work of watering. Milkweed typically comes up in the late Spring, as the Monarchs return. Thanks again, and enjoy! René

Hi Alisa - Thanks so bery much for your 5-star review, and, actually, right now (late November) is the best time of the year to get your seedbark crumbled and sprinkled out! Letting the Winter rains do the "hard" part of watering them and getting them started makes it super easy to get 'em up and growing! Once the rains end, they only need to be watered once each couple of weeks to keep the blooms coming year 'round. Enjoy, and again, many thanks! All the best - René

Hi Julie - Thanks so much for your 5-star review. It means a lot to me! Right now is a great time to crumble up your seed bark and sprinkle it out over as large an area as possible, and let the winter rains do the initial watering that’s so important for success. Once the rains end in the Spring, plan on watering once each couple of weeks to keep the wildflower blooms coming throughout the year. Thanks again, and enjoy! René

Hi Karen - Thank you so *very* much for your 5-star review, and you're right, this really is a "passion project" for me! Getting folks to dip their toes into growing wildflowers to see just how easy to grow, and how beautiful they are, seems like a good first step towards developing a stronger sense of the need to protect our environment among folks in general. Enjoy your new wildflowers, and thanks again!

Hi Cathy - Thank *you* for your 5-star review, and for your concern about our environment! I'm passionate about trying to keep our environment sustainable, and I truly want folks to see how easy it can be to grow native plants. Milkweeds can be a bit "uncooperative" to get growing, but they are essential for Monarch butterflies. Thanks again, and enjoy! All the very best, René

Thank you, Carolyn, for your 5-star review! I do try really hard to provide the sort of customer service that I would want to receive -- the "old-fashioned" kind, where folks really care. Thanks for your support, thanks for your purchase, and enjoy your new wildflowers! All the very best, René
