“This podcast host feels no responsibility to discuss the importance of using native plants in the garden. Entire shows recommend non-native species and praise “what vigorous growers” they are. For Japanese Anemone the suggestion was to “pot it up” and give it to a neighbor! Japanese Anemone is invasive in some states. I definitely do not have all native plants in my yard, but I try to pay attention to the importance of natives in my yard and would never give a neighbor an aggressive non native plant. If you care at all about our local environment and expect to learn about how your garden can be a beneficial force for sustainability, this podcast won’t help. The occasional nod to natives is here, but is far outweighed by gardening suggestions that came right out of the last century.”
