For this edition of "Bug Talk" Lisa and Rhonda are joined by master naturalist Nancy Lawson of The Humane Gardener. Nancy talks about how the native plantings in her suburban yard have become ambassadors for introducing her community to native birds and insects. Did you know that brambles are a great feature to have for native creature habitats? Nancy teaches that plants are the solution to many of the common gardening problems that we face. She talks about how to start small in your efforts to incorporate native plants into your landscape, then gradually expand from there.
