Need garden inspiration? Take a quick morning tour through Denver Botanic Gardens. One of two American Public Garden Association partners sharing their work with Great Grow Along 2024 attendees.
“Did you know the United States is home to over 4,000 species of native bees? Most people know relatively little about native bees considering how important they are to the pollination of native flowers and agricultural crops. To save the native bees we must first get to know them.
Join National Geographic Explorer, TEDx speaker, and community scientist Krystle Hickman on a journey to a deeper appreciation and understanding of these very charismatic creatures. Through Krystle’s stunning macro photography, get to know what makes them so special and signs of a healthy garden.”
See environmental education in action at the Naples Botanic Garden. Enjoy a quick tour through the garden to see how they are making an impact on education for all ages. One of two American Public Garden Association partners sharing their work with Great Grow Along 2024 attendees.
By intentionally including edible plants from 8 different layers (trees, sub-canopy trees, shrubs, vines, perennials, annuals, ground covers, and edible roots) in your home garden, you’ll be building a mini “food forest” that will produce food for years to come and require less work and fewer resources.
Don’t let your small space stop you from enjoying a lush and bountiful kitchen garden! Author and professional kitchen garden designer, Resh Gala, shares her tricks for tasty abundance no matter where you’re planting. Using containers and vessels of all types, Resh shows practical examples on how to maximize harvest and beauty while minimizing work.
Even small yards can get big color from flowering shrubs. Join Roxana for a tour of her home garden, how she integrates her go-to flowering shrubs and why she likes them. Plus get a preview into what she’s dreaming about adding to her space. Flowering shrubs are a joy in any garden – get inspired on how you can incorporate them in your own garden.
The colors, shapes, and scents of flowers are as ravishing to the senses as to the soul. But it’s all too easy get things wrong: colors that clash, flowers that bloom at the wrong time, plants that fail to thrive… In this session Jenny Rose Carey tells you exactly how to get started, how to combine plants for the most spectacular effects, and how to keep your flowers beautiful all summer long.
Growing up is a great strategy whether you’re short on space or not. Trellising keeps plants tidy and off the ground, improves air circulation, reduces disease and maximizes growing space. Wendi shares her tips and tools to take advantage of all these good outcomes and more.
Doug Tallamy presents the grassroots science-based solution to the biodiversity crisis and explains why it’s so urgent to take action. Learn how individually and together, our small or large actions can make a huge impact and what you can do to get started NOW. Each of us can be part of this extraordinary cooperative conservation movement – together – we can regenerate biodiversity and see the impact of our actions almost immediately.
Every house in America should be fronted with a non-native monoculture with the maintenance requirements of a golf course and the ecological value of a strip mine ; a place where all flowers are called weeds and signs to the extent of ‘keep off’ are the norm.
Does the idea seem a bit odd to you? It’s time to take a second look at this idea we call lawn. Learn about various options available, from whole lawn replacement to starting small with strategies for reducing inputs and increasing ecological value. From well-known plants to new introductions, learn various options that fit the needs of any lawn space.
