At our co-hosting site Hjortetakly, biologist and nature walker, Anja Vensild Hørnell, has been documenting all the species around in the area. The intention is that know as much about the space, and the many ecological relations it holds, and second, to form an archive of the place.

Below are the list of species Anja noted on two occasions. First, September 12, 2023, and second June 26th, 2024. There might be species overlaps across the dates, but seasons change, and our forms of noticing too. This post is about the second day of creating the list, 26th June, 2024, the day of the Open Garden at Hjortetakly.

Humle have female and maleplants. The femaleplants have the flowers/cones we like to use for beer and medicine. Look for them high up where the light is.
