Busting 10 Garden Myths
unlearn what you have learned for a more sustainable, low-maintenance garden
I had an art teacher who once taught me that I needed to unlearn what I had learned. As in painting, so in gardening.
We've learned that gardens need constant watering and fertilizing and mulching, that plant tags are useful, and that the secret to having a green thumb is using USDA hardiness zones. Nope, nope, nope.
Embrace nature and sustainability as you relearn how to garden in an age of empowering freedom for plants, wildlife, and you.

"I liked how he connected what we do in our gardens to the overall health of our ecosystem. He provided facts I hadn't heard before and I walked away from the presentation inspired to make changes."
"Wonderful! Combination of knowledge, wit, and alacrity of presentation.... So interested in his topic that he made me interested!"
"He did an outstanding job bridging practical gardening with the philosophy behind why we need native plants in our landscapes. He had great photos, statistics, and personal stories."
