Happy Tuesday, Mulchers! I hope everyone is staying dry, and your plants are soaking up the rain!

Thank you to everyone who joined us this past weekend for our very first acorn scavenging event!

If you couldn’t make it, don’t worry, we have two more coming up. Check the event section below for more info.

Several times a week on my way to work, I pass the Union Square Greenmarket. It’s one of those quiet city rituals that I love — a reminder that beneath all the noise and motion, the seasons are still turning. Lately, I’ve noticed the shift in the stalls: tomatoes and peaches are giving way to deep burgundy flowers, piles of hearty kale and leafy greens, mounds of squash and pumpkins, and jugs of apple cider that seem to glow in the morning light.

There’s something grounding about this transition. Even here, in the middle of New York, nature still speaks. Rewilding the city isn’t only about watering garden beds or planting new trees. It’s also about attuning ourselves to these rhythms, letting the changing landscape guide how we live.

When we lean into the season — truly lean in — we begin to move with the world instead of against it. We build a culture that flows with the weather, that recognizes the beauty of each brief moment in the cycle.

So maybe this week, you bake that apple pie. Or toss together a crisp kale and cabbage salad. Pick up what’s in season, let it root you in the present, and allow autumn to unfold in its colorful, abundant way.

This is what rewilding looks like too — living with the season, not just in it.

Did a friend send you this email? I’d love to have you join us! I send an email each week full of rewilding inspo and community highlights, so that you can be rooted in the fact that we are real people making a real difference in this city.
