Welcome to The Turf Zone Podcast. This episode features the article “Art and Resilience: The Pollinator Garden at the UT Arboretum” by Mike Ross, Associate Professor of Plant Sciences and Jakob Johnson, UT Plant Sciences, Master of Landscape Architecture Student. As our relationship with Nature and access to natural spaces have become increasingly constrained by urban and suburban growth, we have seen a growing desire by homeowners, parks and municipalities for naturalistic landscapes that showcase plants as communities. This naturalistic planting design often seeks to abstract naturally occurring ecological habitats and put them in a context that, allows people to interact with the plants and their associates in more intentional ways. Pocket prairies, urban meadows, pollinator gardens, even rain gardens can serve these naturalistic functions that whether in bloom or in winter dormancy, can inspire the heart and captivate the mind. One such place is the Michelle Bradley Campanis Pollinator Garden at the UT Arboretum in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The pollinator garden has developed into something really special during the last five years. In many ways this special garden resource serves as a prime example of resilience in design and the blending of that resilience with the art of landscape and planting design. My involvement with this project dates back to June 2020. At the time I had been at the University of Tennessee for almost a year and with covid, all educational programs, field days, master gardener and outreach events had moved online. I had been asked by the UT Arboretum team to give a talk on ecological landscape design. During the presentation I mentioned that I thought there should be a wildflower center in every state. This was something I brought up during my job interview back in 2019. I still feel strongly about that need. At the talk in 2020, the idea of a wildflower center for Tennessee resonated with Michelle Campanis, who is the Education Coordinator at the UT Arboretum who was at the zoom meeting. She reached out and said they had an area at the Arboretum that would be a great place for a meadow…would I be interested in helping to create it? And so began a multi-year collaboration with the UT Forest Resources AgResearch and Education Center (REC), Tennessee Naturescapes, undergraduate PLSC students from the Sustainable Landscape Design concentration in the Herbert College of Agriculture, and graduate students from the School of Landscape Architecture in the College of Architecture and Design. Brainstorming and Breaking Ground: Planning the First Steps Our initial discussions centered around a stretch of ground that was next to the recently constructed auditorium and its extensive rain garden. The ground that was identified had become a field of invasive plants, weeds, and assorted woody shrubs and small trees. The team's idea was to create a space that provided visual appeal from the auditorium and that also would contribute to future educational programs that, like the rain garden, could be focused on sustainable and resilient landscapes. In keeping with that charge, it was determined that in addition to shedding the invasive field we would use fire, herbicide, and solarization as ways to suppress the significant invasive species pressure on the site. Michelle led volunteers through weeding and prepping the site, Kevin Hoyt, the director of the UT Forest Resources AgResearch and Education Center and the Arboretum staff oversaw bush hogging, prescribed burns, and pesticide application. Don Williams and Tennessee Naturescapes provided the solarization material and I began working with students and research assistants to develop initial plant lists. The key to successful projects like this one that relies on using abstracted ecosystems is the ability to convey the concept across all collaborative partners. The effective control of invasive and weedy species in the selected site and the shared vision for the pollinator garden were essential for keeping the project moving forward across the last four years. Art and Resilience in Landscape Design An intentional landscape plan is at its most evocative when it marries art and science to varying degrees to bring about experientially rich moments for people to interact with their designed surroundings. It can take the form of extravagant fountains and terracing like the Italian renaissance garden at Villa d'Este or the over-the-top grandeur of French baroque landscape designs of master paysagiste, Andre Le Notre, or perhaps our more familiar works from Frederick Law Olmsted and Jens Jensen. However, as evocative as these landscapes are, they were not conceived within a conceptual framework that accounted for an understanding of ecology as a discreet science nor to anticipate disturbance regimes that included wildfire, site construction, drought or flooding. This is precisely where the pollinator garden fits into our contemporary sphere of landscape design practice. The art of planting design, the artful shape, color, and texture of the plants utilized balanced with the realities of ever-changing precipitation, management regimes, unpredictable weather and scheduling approvals for prescribed burn permits, and fluctuating volunteer schedules and knowledge bases. All impact the success and perception of the project. At the end of the day, the pollinator garden must be both beautiful and functional. It must serve the educational and ecological goals of the REC, as well as benefitting the casual visitor to the Arboretum. It needs to support the well-attended annual Butterfly Festival and other University field days that are part of the education and outreach component of the land grant mission that the REC serves. It must above all support pollinators and their diverse life histories. The resilience and the art must be linked for the project to succeed. The Significance of People as Part of an Informed Design Process A key component in this project has always been the students and volunteers who have dedicated so much time and invested so much of themselves to this undertaking. Whether planting, weeding, constructing, maintaining accessible circulation, or controlling invasive plants; through their efforts we have been able to make this project happen. With that said, I think it is particularly meaningful when the work allows student interactions with the garden to reinforce and teach meaningful skills that can shape their own understanding of the profession of landscape design and management. Students working as part of the Living Systems Design Group and the Ross lab developed plans, researched plant material, learned how to design on-site, set up and space plants, use technology, review spreadsheets, and managed the prairie and meadow ecosystem establishment. In some cases, I would bring my graduate and undergraduate classes out to help with planting. More than once, I had the distinct honor of teaching a beginner student how to plant a plant. While this may seem small or trivial, it illustrates how even students who are drawn to landscape and horticulture may have had very limited past opportunity to plant, grow, and interact with vegetation beyond the occasional house plant. The work we have undertaken at the UT Arboretum has shaped the professional practice and career aspirations of many students. This outcome is further evidence of the immense value that hands-on experiential learning has for future designers, landscape architects, professional gardeners, horticulturists, and landscape managers. Ongoing Lessons Learned in Managing a Designed Ecological System As the pollinator garden has continued to establish and grow, there have been key management and maintenance decisions that we have made that will shape its long-term success. First and foremost, controlling invasive and weedy plant encroachment is key to maintaining the structure and visual impact of the garden. Woody plants, even native ones, can markedly change the form and structure if allowed to establish in the meadow. While intentional use of woody plants for their structural and aesthetic contributions must be maintained, careful removal of woody seedlings plus annual burning has helped us keep the invasive and weedy plants in check. Fire, manual removal, ethical and judicious use of herbicides each contribute key roles in controlling plant compositions throughout the garden. Some species, such as goldenrods (Solidago sp., dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), and asters (Symphyotrichum and Eurybria sp.) were always planned to be intentional parts of the project, yet these plant species were not intentionally planted or purchased; we knew from past experience that these species would naturally find their own way into our meadow plots and could be expected to colonize on their own. By that same logic, our expectation has also meant that some individuals of these species can show up anywhere and can regenerate in great profusion if left unmanaged. For these plant species, proper thinning, selective removal, and well timed cutting all aid in keeping these important pollinator plants behaving as good neighbors to the rest of the meadow community. Additionally, when plants are weeded and pulled up, native seed from flowering annual species that we intend to keep well represented in the design, are purposefully re-applied into areas of soil disturbance. In this way, there is propagule competition with the weedy species, and this interaction helps to offset the natural suppressive effect of longer-lived perennial plants on early colonizing annuals. Finally, because the garden exists as an interactive educational space, maintaining and managing circulation and pathways is an ongoing task. Plants mature and spread, sometimes obscuring pathways or sprawling into areas that are intended for more contemplative experiences. Thinning and plant relocation are important tasks needed for keeping the structure and design vision in place. All of this effort is dependent on volunteers and students who are coordinated by Michelle Campanis. Through continued effort and dedication, the garden is establishing nicely and keeping the vision flexible and resilient while not losing sight of the initial concept. A Look Into the Future As the project moves forward through the establishment and management phase, plants will continue to be added or subtracted. This is necessary to restate important design concepts, improve the aesthetic appeal, and keep up with the educational opportunities and needs of the UT Arboretum and REC. Final Thoughts The first formal discussions of this project that I was involved in began in June 2020 and this coming spring of 2026 the project receives its official name, the Michelle Bradley Campanis Pollinator Garden. While its official establishment date is attributed to 2022, the reality is that projects like this take years of dedicated work, advocacy, and commitment by many people, professionals, students and volunteers. We would like to thank Michelle Campanis, Don Williams, Kevin Hoyt, Jakob Johnson, Hailey Wright, JD Zimmerman, and my students past, present, and future that have and will work on the pollinator garden to help care for it into the future. Student's Perspective – Jakob's Experience By Jacob Johnson During my time at The University of Tennessee I have had the opportunity to work with professors who saw the value of engaging students in projects with real world implications. In our digital age the value of hands-on learning experiences is exponentially important. With the reality of the direction of education experiences that can now be fully gained online, the value of face to face or hands to dirt learning is something that can never be fully replaced. There is immense importance in actually seeing how hard work can lead to the physical manifestation of an idea. As I was nearing the end of my undergraduate studies in Sustainability, I was still unsure of how I wanted to utilize the knowledge I had gained in the classroom. Through a series of experiences being on site and taking the classroom outside to the world I discovered my true passion. My first experience with the UT meadow began in April 2022, while I was pursuing my undergraduate degree in sustainability with a minor in plant sciences. During this first visit to the arboretum I didn't know much about real world implementation of planting design…I knew how to dig a hole to its proper depth and to break up root bound plants, I knew how to identify certain plants that I was looking at, I knew the value in what these ecosystems provide, and I knew that I was excited to be a part of something bigger than myself. During this initial phase of the project I had the opportunity and guidance of Mike to mark out the boundaries for the planting zones, strategically stage the plants so there was structure, areas of reveal and lines of sight. Tasks that may seem minor to the average gardener, but these tasks would help jumpstart my pursuit of a career in Landscape Architecture. The next visit to the UT Arboretum was as a class, we began the laborious process of digging hundreds of holes for the plugs and containerized plants with the hope that the site would become a place where people and nature can meet or reconnect. Getting the opportunity to work under someone that is so knowledgeable in a field of study which aims to build and support communities of people and plants was an honorable task. It taught me that it was much more than just placing plants in the landscape, it was conversations about the plant communities and the species they support, the structural variation creating moments of wonder and others of reveal, it was about the intentionality of having bursts of color in moments along the path, and conversations about how amazing this place will be. It was through these types of conversations I was ignited with an inspiration that I too could gain these skills and knowledge to create places that provide beauty to our world while creating opportunities for essential ecological services to be provided. Upon graduating with my degree in Sustainability I began a summer job in landscape construction and that fall would begin my pursuit of my master's in landscape architecture. After about 3 years from the time I first helped plant at the arboretum I was invited back, this time to utilize the skills and knowledge I had been gaining through graduate school. My task this time was to help establish formalities in the design that assist in creating a sense of arrival into the meadow, as well as create opportunities for gathering. Through the collaboration and support of Michelle Campanis and Kevin Hoyt and oversight of Mike Ross I was entrusted with my first stand-alone landscape construction project. With the use of recycled on-site stone, I constructed planter beds to support Tiger Eye Sumac specimens (Rhus typhina ‘Bailtiger') to create a gathering space in the middle of the meadow. The entrance for the meadow was designed by Mike Ross and Margaret Mando (a fellow UTK School of Landscape Architecture student) and I was given the opportunity to do detailed construction design, material selection and sourcing as well as the actual building of the entrance. It has allowed me to create, to problem solve and to feel the fulfillment of turning something from just an idea on paper into a physical manifestation in the landscape. From my first experience of walking into a barren field of dirt to walking through the meadow and seeing a diverse mix of Carolina lupine, rattlesnake master, columbine, bee balm, big blue stem, husker red penstemon, false blue indigo, milkweed, mountain mint, and many more plants, I have sharpened my skills and sensibility as a designer, I have built relationships with people and the land, I have deepened my appreciation for our natural world and more importantly found a cause that I want to dedicate my life to…. creating places where people can feel a sense of wonder, beauty, peace and learn with nature. Through the opportunity and foresight of people like Michelle Campanis, Kevin Hoyt, Mike Ross and many more I have realized the true power and impact that a single experience of hands-on learning can provide to someone that is still learning and developing their place in the world. For these experiences I am eternally grateful. You have been listening to The Turf Zone Podcast.

🧭 REBEL Rundown 📝Introduction Welcome to this special edition of the REBEL Cast, where we unravel key highlights and educational insights from the IncrEMentuM Conference in Spain. This event is a cornerstone for advancing emergency medicine education, drawing esteemed speakers and participants from around the globe. As emergency medicine gains traction in Spain, this conference has become an essential platform for knowledge exchange and professional growth. Today, host Dr. Mark Ramzy shines a spotlight on two phenomenal educators: Drs. Sara Crager and Ryan Ernst who shared their expertise and experiences at this transformative gathering last spring. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 🤔What's IncrEMentuM? A new conference and a pivotal gathering for emergency medicine professionals worldwide, has become an essential platform for education, collaboration, and advocacy, especially in light of emergency medicine’s recent recognition as a specialty in Spain. The conference is praised for its outstanding production quality, engaging speakers, and its capacity to foster a global community of emergency care professionals. ️What's an Essential Question? Essential questions are open-ended, thought-provoking, and intellectually engaging inquiries that inspire deeper exploration into topics. In the context of medical education, they challenge practitioners to think critically and reflect on their practice deeply. By focusing on essential questions, medical educators aim to inculcate a culture of continuous learning and curiosity, ensuring that medical professionals stay adaptable and insightful in their approach to patient care. 🎮Rapid Sequence (no not the intubating style...)  The Rapid Sequence game is an innovative tool that Sara and Ryan designed to enhance the learning experience for emergency medicine clinicians. It mimics real-life scenarios requiring rapid decision-making in high-pressure situations, such as those faced in emergency medical settings. This clinical case-based game aims to improve cognitive and procedural skills, allowing participants to hone their ability to respond effectively under pressure, thereby enhancing their real-world clinical performance.You can try it out for free on their website here!Their work was featured in the September 2025 edition of Annals of Emergency Medicine as a 2025 ACEP Abstract 🌳The Arboretum Teaching Collective An arboretum is a space that cultivates a wide variety of diverse, unique, and symbiotic growth.

(00:00:00) We begin in Potter County with Gary M. Buchsen, whose family owns and operates the Coudersport Ice Mine — a geological anomaly that has fascinated visitors for more than a century. Discovered in 1894 by silver prospector Billy O’Neill, the Ice Mine produces ice in the spring and summer, then melts in the fall and winter, thanks to a rare rock formation that traps and releases cold air. After decades of closure and disrepair, Gary’s parents, Gary and Diana Buchsen, restored the site and reopened it in 2014. Today, the Ice Mine draws visitors from nearly every state and dozens of countries, offering a glimpse into one of Pennsylvania’s most unusual natural phenomena. (00:22:24) Then we head southeast to Philadelphia’s Chestnut Hill neighborhood to visit the Morris Arboretum & Gardens of the University of Pennsylvania, a 92‑acre public garden and living history museum. Once a private estate and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Arboretum blends horticulture, research, and environmental education. With its sweeping landscapes, conservation work, and commitment to public engagement, it stands as one of the region’s most treasured green spaces.

Nous sommes au tout début du XIIIe siècle, les ducs de Brabant, qui règnent sur Bruxelles et sa région, sont devenus les propriétaires de la forêt de Soignes. C'est un événement fondateur qui scelle le destin du massif : elle devient domaine de prestige dédié à la chasse. Cette appartenance princière permet à la forêt d'échapper aux grands défrichements médiévaux qui ont transformé le reste de l'Europe. Soignes est, aujourd'hui, une véritable machine à remonter le temps. Ainsi conserve-t-elle, sous ses strates les traces d'un village fortifié vieux de plus de 5000 ans. Elle nous rappelle la chute de l'Empire romain et la naissance de frontières entre pays germaniques et pays latins. La présence des communautés religieuses, comme Rouge-Cloître, qui y géraient les étangs et les ressources dès le XIVe siècle. A la fin du XVIIIe siècle, un jardinier autrichien impose la plantation systématique de hêtres, créant une sorte de cathédrale naturelle. Au XIXe siècle, la forêt subit un dépeçage brutal perdant plus de 60 % de sa surface initiale au profit du capitalisme naissant. Le roi Léopold II contribuera à sa sauvegarde et à son embellissement en léguant à l'État des domaines prestigieux comme l'Arboretum de Tervuren, mais cela n'empêchera pas les amputations provoquées par le développement des transports comme le chemin de fer et, plus tard, la voiture. La forêt n'échappera pas non plus aux conséquences de la régionalisation de sa gestion. Aujourd'hui, la protection de ce poumon vert est renforcée par son classement au réseau Natura 2000. Et en 2017, la reconnaissance internationale lui est acquise par l'inscription d'une partie du territoire au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Un patrimoine unique qui reste fragile. Promenons-nous dans la forêt de Soignes avec respect, humilité et vigilance pour l'avenir … Avec nous : Isabelle Douillet de Pange, historienne de l'art et curatrice à la Fondation Folon. « La forêt de Soignes, sous les feuilles, l'histoire » (avec ALAIN ROBYNS), éd.

Los árboles pueden usarse como elemento de colonización y dominación de una tierra. Pasó durante la dictatura franquista con pinos y eucaliptus y pasa desde primeros del siglo pasado con la dominación sionista de Palestina. La reforestación con Ailanthus, también conocido como árbol del cielo o árbol de los dioses, se desarrolló a través de un plan premeditado de la Jewish National Foundation JNF con el objetivo de administrar tierras en Palestina para el pueblo judío. Nos lo cuenta la escritora, investigadora y activista Ailo Ribas coautora junto a Areej Ashhab del libro "El árbol de nadie, de rápido crecimiento, maloliente y escapado, amoroso, rompe muros, autoclonante y diferente a lo natural". Reunimos a Ailo junto al también investigador y experto en vegetación con mirada social Christian Alonso en el Jardín Botánico de Lleida, Arboretum, al que nos invita su director Alejandro Juárez. Él nos cuenta de los primeros objetivos israelís para destruir el banco de semillas palestino donde se guardaba buena parte de la información vegetal de su cultura. Mientras hablamos de plantas migrantes, gracias a la exposición que se puede ver actualmente en el Botánico, con ilustraciones de la artista y jardinera Vicky Benítez, escuchamos la música de: OUMEIMA EL KHALIL; XAVI SARRIA+ SHALMA ALHAKIM- Hayat;AMIRA KHEIR - Habibi Ta’al; MOMI MAIGA- Kairo; ESMER- Sal Çu; LASTA SANCO- Allez; KOERS- Despertem el Món; SOAP KILLS- Galbi.

Thanks to Trevor for joining the show and can't wait to get out there. Also, earlier this week, Jacob had a chance to catch up with Independent Governor Candidate Mike Newcome while he was in town for a Meet and Greet.

This episode is a reflection on the Firefighters Memorial Trust's Annual Service of Remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum for those unable to attend. Surrounded by colleagues, families, and supporters, the day carried immense weight through silence, poetry, and the laying of wreaths, every moment honoured the courage and sacrifice of those who gave their lives in service. The Arboretum, a landscape shaped by memory, reminded us that remembrance is not abstract it is about real people, real stories, and the lasting bonds of the fire service family.Alongside the history of the Trust and its role in preserving memory, this episode also acknowledges the names of firefighters recently lost, including Firefighters Jennie Logan and Martyn Sadler of Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue, among others. Speaking their names aloud ensures they are never forgotten. Remembrance is not only about the past. It challenges us today: to train harder, lead with integrity, support our families, and carry forward the courage of those who came before.

Gregg Horan is the founder — and namesake — behind The Greggory, and owner and managing partner of Hearth Hospitality. A sharp, good-humored force in Chicago's dining scene, Horan's journey took him from wild shifts at Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville to the polished halls of Gibson's, where he helped the restaurant evolve into one of the world's premier restaurant groups. Now, he brings his expertise to his own venture in South Barrington's Arboretum, where rustic tavern fare meets steakhouse precision. He joins us in the studio to talk about scaling service without sacrificing soul, navigating celebrity tables, building a restaurant that reflects both his name (whether or not it's spelled the same way) and his ethos — and so much more!

Mother's Day can stir up a lot—especially when you're navigating life after divorce. Maybe your ex's voice is still echoing in your head, or your teens are too cool (or too cranky) to make plans. Maybe your kids aren't even with you this year. If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is here to help you mute the noise, return to yourself, and reclaim this day as something sacred and satisfying—no matter what it looks like on the outside. Together, we'll explore how to celebrate yourself without apology, even if no one else is showing up the way you hoped. I'll share what it means to be both realistic and radiant—from managing kids who are resistant or unavailable, to creating a solo tradition that fills your soul (including my own story of picnics, peace, and blooming flowers at the Arboretum). Because Mother's Day isn't about perfection. It's about presence. Whether you're feeling joyful, tender, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to step into your power, choose your own joy, and design a Mother's Day that honors the incredible mom—and woman—you are.
