Plants Grow Here - Horticulture, Landscape Gardening & Ecology Ep.209 Are native plants best for urban ecology? - Daniel FullerAre native and endemic plants better than exotic plants for biodiversity in urban landscapes? The answer is, it depends.By now, you expect a nuanced exploration into complex ideas like this when you tune into the Plants Grow Here podcast.
