Ep 74. Native Plants for Native Pollinators

While director of Rutgers Gardens in New Jersey, Bruce Crawford gave a talk, he coined Sexy Native Plants. He's now with Willowwood Arboretum bringing a reflection on his presentation about Native Plants for Native Pollinators (the G-rated version – smile). We chat about sources to find more native plants specific to your area. Such as my go-to book by Doug Tallamy: Bringing Nature Home- How you can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants. And other helpful sources such as plant lists provided by Native Plant Societies.  Link to Related Stories:Native Plants for Native PollinatorsNative Plants, especially Oaks, are Essential – featuring Doug Talamy's book The Nature of Oaks.Other helpful links:American Horticultural Society's – list of  Native Plant Societies  ***Kind listeners, I'd love to hear about your garden and nature stories.
