State Told to Eliminate DEI in Schools
The Education Department issued a memo to state officials nationwide on Thursday April 3rd requiring them to respond within 10 days verifying that they have eliminated diversity, equity and inclusion programs in public schools. The Trump administration is threatening to pull education funding for states that do not comply.

Hands in the Dirt: Hellebore
It’s not a native plant, but it’s not invasive. It is also known as the Lenten rose. It will grow under trees and is perfect for a rock garden or a woodland slope.

Flower color ranges from pink, to white, to purple, and yellow. Rabbits and deer leave it alone although squirrels have been seen to take a nibble or two. It is toxic to dogs and cats if...
