Post-Lawn Mowing Offering

Ok so my parents hired people to "manage" our backyardtoday.. which means that people aremowing the lawn, trimming the hedges, cutting a few branches off the biggest trees.. I feel terrible for the plants. And plus, the mere sounds of leaf blowers and lawn mowers disturbs the peaceful energy that I've been cultivating in the garden. Does anyone have any advice for offerings or prayers for the plants/earth/garden/deities/etc.?

Water is always a good offering for most plants. Or you could go with a natural fertilizer (as opposed to ones based on chemicals.) You can find some recipes for making a natural fertilizer at home at https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/lawn-care/lgen/homemade-lawn-fertilizer.htm

Used coffee grounds are also useful around most plants, especially roses.

I have a similar issue. The property owner occasionally sends in lawn care, which I refer to as the lawn blitzkriek, because the lawn mower they use is a fully mechanized ride on mower and several weed whackers/leafblowers. Needless to say, it is disruptive. The solution I came up with was building a makeshift fence around the garden bed by pushing sharpened sticks into the ground. It has kept the mowers out so far. A simple offering you can do is thanking the plants and taking time to appreciate them. I have found that apple cores are good treats for flowering bushes.

Okay. Thank you so much, Lark and Corvus!

Omg haha, "lawn blitzkrieg." That's an awesome nickname.
