Janey welcomes Lauren Pratt on this episode for a conversation about the differences between native and invasive plants. Lauren is a lifetime gardener and the founding principal designer of Pratt Landscape Design. Put simply by Lauren, there are native plants that are great for where you are, but there are also non-native plants that are also great for where you are!  A sometimes controversial topic in the gardening world, join them to dive deeper into this topic.   Lauren has over 20 years of design experience and went to school for interior design. She fell into the world of landscape design after being hired as a design assistant for a landscape architect at a local civil engineering firm and never looked back! Pratt Landscape Design is located in the Central Valley and focuses on sustainable, waterwise planting and design. Landscape is truly her passion and that shows in this fun conversation!   To check out more from Lauren.
