Really liking this podcast so far. I found it after looking for more content from Heather McCargo. Would love it if some of the episodes on native plants went into more detail on how to help birds specifically with native plants and trees, and also a titled episode for beginners on how to attract more birds to your yard and create habitats for them.
I am changing my garden over to native plants to help the birds and butterflies and this podcast is helping me so much. Keep up the great work!
I have learned so much from this podcast. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about native plants birding etc. but I have learned something new on each and every episode. Hands-down the best podcast out
