A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach October 31, 2022 Uli Lorimer on Eco Cleanup
b'
We\\u2019ve all heard the environmentally conscious advice: The way we used to clean up our gardens \\u2013 extra-tidy, but to within an inch of its life for every unseen beneficial creature out there trying to tuck in for winter \\u2013 is not the best practice.
\\n\\n\\n\\nI\\u2019m learning and evolving my approach as I go the last few years, reading up about guidance like \\u201cleave the leaves\\u201d and cutback strategies like \\u201cchop and drop\\u201d and more. And asking experts for help, including today\\u2019s guest, Uli Lorimer, director of horticulture at Native Plant Trust.\\xa0
\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nUli, author of \\u201cThe Northeast Native Plant Primer,\\u201d has made native plants his career. In 2019 became director of horticulture at\\xa0Native Plant Trust,\\xa0America\\u2019s oldest plant conservation organization, founded in 1900 as the New England Wild Flower Society, and before that he was longtime curator of the Native Flora Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden.\\xa0
