Mary Stone discusses her experiences with snakes, particularly Copperheads, in her garden and how their hourglass-shaped markings blend into the environment. While venomous, they aren't as dangerous as rumored,  and while they benefit us by controlling pests, she shares ways to discourage them from hunkering down in your garden. 

The episode concludes with other wildlife encounters that instill fear, followed by excitement and wonder, and invites listeners to share their own wildlife experiences.

Welcome to Garden Dilemmas, Delights, and Discoveries.

It's not only about gardens; it's about nature's inspirations, about grasping the glories of the world around us, gathering what we learned from mother nature, and carrying these lessons into our garden of life. So, let's jump in in the spirit of learning from each other. We have lots to talk about.
