When we talk about our current climate crisis and the decline in biodiversity it can feel so heavy and impossible, but when I started digging into Doug Tallamy's books about how we can reverse what we are currently seeing by focusing more of our yards on Native Plantings and less on growing a lawn....A weight was lifted. Since then I have become impassioned about native plants. How we can add more and how to build a stronger future with less work by putting more of these plants in the ground today.
That said, I feel so thankful we were able to sit down and have this conversation with Doug Tallamy who is the T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 104 research publications and has taught insect-related courses for 40 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. Doug's knowledge about the importance and the impact we can make with just a few changes to what we choose for our yard is powerful, approachable, and achievable.
