The Wild-ish Garden of Margaret Renkl A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach Oct 9, 2023

My how times have changed. That\\u2019s what I keep thinking looking around my own garden in recent years, and I\\u2019ve been struck by the same thought over and over as I read \\u201cThe Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year,\\u201d the latest book by Margaret Renkl that takes us through a year in her garden, 1,000 miles to the south of mine, in Nashville.
\\n\\n\\n\\nThe \\u201cwhat happens when\\u201d of nature is all shifting in the face of environmental change, and how we each garden has shifted, too\\u2014for Margaret Renkl and for me and maybe for you, too, toward more native plants and messier fall cleanup and other contributions we can make to our beloved birds and the rest of natural world that\\u2019s increasingly under pressure.
\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nLike many readers, I got to know Margaret Renkl in 2019, upon the publication of her book \\u201cLate Migrations.\\u201d Since 2017, she has been contributing a popular weekly "Opinion" column to "The New York Times" each Monday, which the newspaper describes as covering \\u201cflora, fauna, politics and culture in the American South.\\u201d
\\n\\n\\n\\nMargaret Renkl and I will be doing a webinar together about her new book and about our gardens on the evening of Nov. 7; I\\u2019ll give more information about signing up for that over on awaytogarden.com with the transcript of this show \\u2013 where you can also enter to win a copy of \\u201cA Comfort of Crows,\\u201d her latest.
