Digging Deeper: Ecological Gardening: Gardening as if Survival Mattered

The Gardens at 404

Sat, Jul 15, 2023
1:00 PM- 3:00 PM

The hosts have been gardening at The Gardens at 404 since 1993 and initially were heavily influenced, as is very common, by English gardens. Over the decades, it has become very obvious that the bird and insect population has sharply declined. This Digging Deeper will discuss the hosts' journey as they pivot to ecological gardening that supports the native environment, a switch made all the more challenging by the increasingly unpredictable weather. Topics discussed will emphasize awareness of choosing plants to support the entire life cycles of the birds and insects we are trying to save, the timing of maintenance routines to avoid interference with those life cycles, and the importance of gardening as if survival mattered.
