Customer Reviews
Native Gardening is for Everyone!!
I love Tim Mack talking about his native gardening!!! Gardening is my addition and I appreciate the joy and ease with which Tim describes his gardening practices and shares his tips!!!
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.
Native plant fallacies
The guest mischaracterizes non native plants, conflating invasive plants with volunteers not acknowledging that they escaped from home gardens, that they outcompete native plants because they don’t have predators and the relationship between native fauna, fungi and soils. Her use of the terms “wildlife” and “adapted” are misingenuous and focus on the winners that utilize non natives, and not the losers that can’t.
