b"Like everyone around this time of year, I get into a \\u201clooking back while looking ahead\\u201d combined mindset. Today I want to do just that, but with a sort of ecological filter, taking stock of how things in the garden fared in the bigger environmental picture and what opportunities lie ahead for me to read nature's signals even more closely, and be an ever better steward of the place.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nWho better to talk about that with than my guest, Uli Lorimer, director of horticulture at Native Plant Trust, the nation's oldest plant-conservation organization. \\n\\n\\n\\nUli Lorimer, author of \\u201cThe Northeast Native Plant Primer,\\u201d has made native plants his life's work. In 2019, he became director of horticulture at Native Plant Trust, which was founded in 1900 as the New England Wild Flower Society. Previously he was a longtime curator of the Native Flora Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. "
