In this episode, we're joined by Matt from Symbiop to discuss what it looks like to develop cooperatives in the landscaping world. How do we showcase alternatives to the norm that draw folks in, and how can we also leverage that ownership to center native plants in our landscaping design choices?

SymbiOp started off as a one-person landscaping business, operated by one of their co-founders, Nutmeg. On Oct 1st, 2021, they opened an ecological garden shop, using their plant expertise to make ecological gardening even more accessible to the greater community. Find them in Portland if you're in town, or otherwise check out their work on social media or at their website: www.symbiop.com
