Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Shaun McCoshum on Natural Habitats and Wildlife Gardening (#51)
Q: What is a simple design principle to blend habitat goals with neighborhood aesthetics?
Use showy, native or native-ish plants in front yards to demonstrate intentional habitat work, while placing more obviously wildlife-supporting species in backyards or less visible areas to maintain curb appeal.
Shaun McCoshum on Natural Habitats and Wildlife Gardening (#51)
Q: How can someone with under an acre start making their yard wildlife-friendly?
Start small with sunflowers or native perennials that feed a broad range of pollinators, then create layered habitats with buried or underground spaces, and use deadwood and organic material to foster soil life and insect communities.
Shaun McCoshum on Natural Habitats and Wildlife Gardening (#51)
Q: What are those key ideas you'd love for people to take home about creating natural habitat in their garden?
Evaluate the space based on the needs of the target organism over an annual cycle, identify nesting and overwintering spaces, and intentionally design pockets of soil and underground refuges to support nesting and survival, not just flowers.
Dr. Allan Armitage on Common-Sense Gardening (#50)
Q: What would you say is the secret to writing so many books?
Allan attributes his writing success to a passion for the subject and a regular writing routine early in the morning.
Dr. Allan Armitage on Common-Sense Gardening (#50)
Q: What are some of the big jumps that you have seen in your life in horticulture with our planting practices?
