Building Native Plant Communities: “Tallamy Talks” and Generosity

Two years after becoming enthralled with the native plant movement, I discovered that the neighborhood I live in is the core of my local native plant gardening community. Here in Ann Arbor, we have an all-volunteer organization called “<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/210469571498917" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Seeds to Community</a>” (S2C) that teaches people how to winter sow natives through a series of workshops, and their yearly native plant sale is run like a garage sale just down the street from me. This is a hobby I’d taken up almost exclusively from the internet, and after a chance meeting with one of the heads of S2C at the library, I finally started building in-person connections around it. And I quickly learned that the reason my neighborhood is so ahead of the curve on incorporating native plants is because of the work S2C has done. <a href="https://medium.com/the-environment/building-communities-around-native-plants-with-tallamy-talks-and-generosity-c3df4a316445">Learn More</a>
