Podcast: Sustainable Gardening Resources with Lois de Vries

Lois de Vries created the Sustainable Gardening Library to make sure everyone has access to accurate, science-based, gardening knowledge they can rely on. She shares this resource with us this week on the Gardenerd Tip of the Week Podcast.

Lois had dedicated her career to helping people avoid invasive plant species, to steward pollinators, and to help save the planet. We chat with her about the Sustainable Gardening Institute and Library and how you can use it to advance your gardening skills.

Lois’s front garden in mid-June. The gardens adjacent to the driveway receive enough sun to support a variety of perennials, roses, and flowering shrubs. Hellebores in the foreground still hold their blooms, while Oso Easy shrub roses flank the path leading to a screen that supports Lavender Lassie climbing roses in the distance.
