This week on the Gardenerd Tip of the Week Podcast we explore what makes a healthy garden with Mary-Kate Mackey. Her new book, co-authored with Kathleen N. Brenzel, The Healthy Garden: Simple Steps for a Greener World, offers tips we can implement for more wildlife, abundance, and personal health.
Mary-Kate is a prolific writer, speaker, and teacher, whose work has appeared in numerous garden publications. Mary-Kate has spoken at most of the major garden shows around the country. And she shares her knowledge in articles for Hartley Botanic Magazine.
