A healthy garden is more than just beautiful—it’s biodiverse! In this episode of The Evergreen Thumb, we explore how increasing plant diversity in home gardens, community spaces, and public landscapes can create more resilient ecosystems, healthier soil, and stronger pollinator populations.
Join us as we discuss:
Why biodiversity is essential for sustainable gardening
How native plants and layered plantings support wildlife and soil health
Practical ways to enhance biodiversity—even in small urban spaces
How plant diversity helps address climate change, pollinator decline, and habitat loss
Whether you're a backyard gardener or working on larger landscapes, this episode offers actionable strategies to support garden resilience and environmental health.
