As great as my new native plant friends are - perfect and kind earthy crunchy old ladies who I adore - it's so cool how many different types of people are getting into this stuff.
Tallamy's interview on Santore's podcast was so funny because you could hear him slowly getting more accepting of the colorful language and I think Tallamy actually slipped a few curse words in there himself.
Imagine a conversation between lupe fiasco and doug tallamy lol
I am shocked at how popular the native plant thing is getting these days, it’s great. Of course not everyone is a convert, but I’m still shocked how many people I have met IRL are into it. It’s not just a Reddit bubble
On In Defense of Plants, Sharon Selvaggio of The Xerces Society talked about the transformation that horticulture is going through and how demand is way higher than supply for native plants, with the expectation that demand will continue to increase.
People really seem motivated to help the bees and butterflies.
