A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach -November 7, 2022 – Jared Rosenbaum on Food Habitats

MARGARET ROACH A WAY TO GARDEN

In his new book, Wild Plant Culture, restoration ecologist Jared Rosenbaum says something provocative about gardening with native plants.

"It's time to expand our vision past supporting birds, butterflies, and bees, and fully integrate the most challenging animal of all, the human being, into our native plant gardens," he writes.

So what all would that mean, and how do we do that?

Jared Rosenbaum is a botanist and restoration ecologist, and he's also co-owner with his wife, Rachel Mackow, of Wild Ridge Plants mail-order nursery in New Jersey. His new book, “Wild Plant Culture: A Guide to Restoring Edible and Medicinal Native Plant Communities,” is out this month.
