How much lawn do we really need? This week’s guest wants us to fill our spaces with native plants, trees and shrubs. Melanie Ouellette is the founder of the Wildflower Seed Library, and describes what native plants are based on their relationship to everything else. She encourages us to share our native plants, encourage our friends and neighbours to plant them, and support pollinators in our yards.
