How can we take it with us into the future?” It’s a compelling question, and one that can motivate not just scientists like Lea Johnson, Director of Conservation at Native Plant Trust in New England, but also native-plant gardeners like us. She is here to talk about where conservation and gardening intersect, and some of the challenges and the possibilities we face together. Lea Johnson joined Native Plant Trust, the nation’s...

But a close look around as summer really takes hold quickly reminds us that our work is never done. Some crop or other is reaching the end of its run, making room for a succession sowing of more of that same thing or something else altogether, or maybe of a weed-suppressing, soil-building cover crop—some of which are actually edible, too, in what’s perhaps the cleverest season-extending scheme of all.

The popular book offers basic guidelines for selecting and using native plants, and specific substitutes for non-natives you may wish to replace. Once spring arrived, Elise got back to making a garden around her relatively new weekend home in Western Massachusetts—not just deciding what to grow, but thornier topics like tackling invasives and all the rest of what goes into rethinking a landscape with ecology in mind.

The popular book offers basic guidelines for selecting and using native plants, and specific substitutes for non-natives you may wish to replace. Once spring arrived, Elise got back to making a garden around her relatively new weekend home in Western Massachusetts—not just deciding what to grow, but thornier topics like tackling invasives and all the rest of what goes into rethinking a landscape with ecology in mind.
