About Me

My photo
I created my Squirrel Garden when I lost my job due to disability. I really enjoyed watching the animals in my yard and decided I wanted to create a sustainable habitat for them. I began studying the Squirrels to learn what they eat, what I could grow for them and how I might enrich their lives. The "garden" grew even if my ability to grow plants didn't. I began watching the birds and learning to identify them by sight and sound. I decided to put up trail cameras and share online about the animals in my yard. I soon found out there was as much activity at night as there was in the daytime! The animals gained a following online and then one spring day, I found a deceased female. She didn't have any signs of being a mother, so I didn't look for a nest. Six days later I found a deceased baby under a nest. I ran and got my neighbor and he climbed up and found one more barely clinging to life. That was what sparked the beginning of what would become the Squirrel Garden Rescue and Rehab, opening Spring of 2025.

Cornspiracy





A green collage-style graphic titled “Cornspiracy: From Sabotage to Sanctuary.” It shows a transformation from a garden sketch (“from graph paper…”) to a lush sanctuary (“…to sovereign soil”). Text narrates the evolution of Nutwork HQ’s garden through sabotage, disability access, squirrel diplomacy, and ecological restoration. Key features include hazelnuts, moss patches, raised beds, brush piles, and a bee box turned pollinator haven.

A collage titled “Bee Box Legacy” featuring six photos and captions that document accidental infrastructure at Nutwork HQ. Highlights include a bee box turned pollinator sanctuary, a palm-sized honeycomb with two queens, a satirical “Protect Your Nuts” box, and a ladder repurposed by squirrels into a certified play structure. Quotes from Dave, Nicki, and a beekeeper reflect the tension between nature and human intention. The image concludes with “Campaign canon: accidental infrastructure is still infrastructure.”

A stylized green page titled “Claimed by Squirrels, Canonized by Nutwork HQ,” with the subtitle “Where moss became cinema, outreach portal, and sovereign dispatch zone.” The main article, “Moss Garden Dispatch,” narrates how an inherited moss patch evolved into sovereign infrastructure through squirrel behavior, volunteer engagement, and mythic storytelling. Two photos show the moss patch and a viewer, with captions highlighting its transformation into cinema seating and outreach portal. The dispatch emphasizes sensory experience, creative resilience, and campaign continuity. A colorful flyer titled “Think You Can Outsmart a Squirrel? Volunteer Dispatch Begins Here.” It invites volunteers to join Nutwork HQ’s campaign, which includes sabotage rescues, squirrel diplomacy, and sovereign resilience. Roles include rehab support, orchard agent, creative tail cam staging, and remote editing. Compensation includes acorns, walnuts, and sovereign bonuses. The flyer emphasizes reliability, humor, and flexible time blocks. Three squirrel photos are captioned with mythic commentary, including “I was summoned,” “The humans showed promise,” and “You’ll be behind the bin.” The flyer blends humor, outreach, and campaign lore.
