Continuing in the theme of "Sustainability Month", for this episode I interview Crystal Bradford and Liam Kijewski of Wildlife Gardening , a native-plant nursery and landscaping service. Crystal and Liam celebrate their 15th anniversary of this work this year, and today we talk about what that path has looked like, navigating ageism, celebrating the growing interest in native plants, managing the struggles, cherishing the wins, and acknowledging how much further we need to go in terms of plant restoration, and conservation. A deeply fascinating conversation, and one full of lots of tips for folks hoping to try some native-plant approaches in their own spaces. Tune in, and check them out at wildlifegardening.ca
