This client expressed concerns regarding their splendid lupine meadow, which had become overrun by aphids by late spring. Each lupine stem was completely covered, leading us to consider potential intervention strategies. However, while my client and I deliberated on appropriate actions, nature had already begun to respond. Upon my inspection of the meadow the following week, I observed a remarkable transformation. The lupine stems previously infested with aphids were now bustling with ladybugs and beetles. These beneficial insects had nearly eradicated the aphid population within just one week. This serves as a compelling illustration of how nature has adapted to address many of our contemporary gardening challenges. If we can exercise patience with our natural allies, we will find that, when native plants are cultivated, the native species will inevitably arrive.
