We speak with two gardening experts to better understand what happens once planting begins, why results depend so heavily on local, year-to-year conditions and how to slowly implement more native species into your own personal gardens and yards.
Guest:
- Ginny Stibolt, botanist and award-winning garden writer
- Jim Glover, owner and operator, Glover Perennials
It’s less about what you want to grow, and more about what actually belongs in that space. Even small changes like how you water your plants can lead to better results over time.
Jim Glover says this shift isn’t just theoretical, it’s showing up in what customers are buying. He remembers how hard it used to be to sell native goldenrod flowers. Goldenrods are native North American flowers that have long, green stems topped with clusters of bright, yellow flowers.
