Gardening With Native Plants, Why and How: Providing habitat for pollinators, birds and other essential wildlife

Amy Meltzer is an active member of Grow Native Massachusetts and the Mass Pollinator Network. She is on both the Research Team and the Natural Solutions Working Group of Elders Climate Action. She has been gardening with native plants for over ten years.

In this talk, Amy will focus on the current biodiversity crisis; the evolutionary history among native plants, insects, birds and fungi, and how these interdependent relationships among diverse species are necessary for their survival. She will show how growing native plants and using ecological landscape practices can simultaneously reverse biodiversity loss, increase resilience in our landscapes, and slow climate change - all while creating a beautiful garden!

This talk in partnership with StowTV occurs every month, discussing contemporary topics about sustainability. Topics are announced as they become available.
