About this episode

The episode discusses ecological gardening and how to work in harmony with nature to promote biodiversity and healthy soil.

At the heart of ecological gardening is learning to work in concert with nature, not against it. That's how gardeners come to understand how they can create beauty while fostering biodiversity and healthy soil. To explain some of the many ways anyone can practice ecological gardening, joining me this week is Matt Mattus, the senior director of horticulture for the American Horticultural Society.
