Customer Reviews
Thanks!
The hydrangea episode was fantastic. I learned so much. I have grown hydrangeas for MANY years, but can’t wait to implement your guest’s suggestions. Excellent podcast. Thank you.
Anti Native Plants
Garden DC had a guest that spread unscientific and false information about native plants. If you don’t want to garden with natives, that is your business. However, giving a platform to someone who spreads false information about the benefits of non-native invasives is irresponsible. I’m disappointed that someone would give a platform to someone who promotes plants that harm the native ecosystem. Really, it’s disgusting.
Irresponsible about natives
This podcast host feels no responsibility to discuss the importance of using native plants in the garden. Entire shows recommend non-native species and praise “what vigorous growers” they are. For Japanese Anemone the suggestion was to “pot it up” and give it to a neighbor! Japanese Anemone is invasive in some states. I definitely do not have all native plants in my yard, but I try to pay attention to the importance of natives in my yard and would never give a neighbor an aggressive non native plant. If you care at all about our local environment and expect to learn about how your garden can be a beneficial force for sustainability, this podcast won’t help. The occasional nod to natives is here, but is far outweighed by gardening suggestions that came right out of the last century.
