In this video, Entomologist, Doug Tallamy explains the urgent need and how we can create sustainable native plant gardens in our homes and communities. Tallamy explains ecological goals, pollinator/plant relationships, soft landings, the toxicity of neonics, water features, how plants and soils can sequester carbon to help mitigate the effects of climate change and even renaming our native plants to avoid “weed” in their names. He gives practical advice on kicking the lawn habit and influencing young people to be better stewards of our earth.
