From flood mitigation to biodiversity, and just a general being loving stewards of our land, there are plenty of reasons.

Mary Carol, owner of Green Star Wetland Plant Farm, joins me to talk about

• Why wetlands are so important to our ecosystem
• How native wetlands plant help with flood mitigation
• Her recommended wetland plants for your garden
• Unlearning the fears of dealing with whatever wildlife native plants attract

Green Star has open farm days when anyone can come to learn and buy some plants for their homes.
