In this episode, Kate Brittenham—an ecological landscape designer—chats with Tim and Jean about how native plant gardens can be both beautiful and practical. These kinds of landscapes do more than just look good—they support local biodiversity and give homeowners a sustainable alternative to the typical lawn. Kate grew up surrounded by native plants at Flying Trillium Gardens and Preserve, a special place in the southern Catskills created by her mother, Carolyn Summers. She shares how her design approach has shifted over time: from having to educate clients about the benefits of native plants to now working with folks who are already excited about creating ecological gardens. Kate also talks about how to strike the right balance between habitat and curb appeal, especially in suburban neighborhoods or places with HOA rules. Kate also talks about how things have really changed in recent years—more people are paying attention to pollinators, invasive plants, along with an increasing awareness of the downsides of keeping a traditional lawn. Since the pandemic, she's seen a real shift in what clients are asking for, and it's changed how she approaches her work. She shares practical advice for anyone looking to make their yard more habitat-friendly, from choosing the right native plants to dealing with invasives and designing with the local environment in mind. The conversation also dives into the updated edition of Designing Gardens with Flora of the American East, the book she co-wrote with her mom, Carolyn Summers. Kate brings a great mix of honesty, plant knowledge, and optimism to the conversation—something gardeners of all experience levels will really enjoy. So if you're thinking about ditching some of your lawn or just want to learn more about plants that support pollinators, listen in as Kate Brittenham shares smart, approachable advice to help you take that first step!

In this episode, I'm speaking with Mary Reynolds—renowned landscape designer, author, and founder of the rewilding movement We Are The Ark. This episode originally aired in 2019 and it's particularly pertinent as it coincides with the start of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, where Mary, won a gold medal winner for her ground-breaking, naturalistic garden which at the time was a revelation. Mary has long championed a shift from traditional gardening to a more nature-centric approach. Her initiative, We Are The Ark, invites gardeners, landowners, and stewards to rewild areas under their care, transforming them into sanctuaries for biodiversity. This conversation delves into Mary's journey, the philosophy behind We Are The Ark, and practical steps we can all take to support nature in our own spaces. As we face increasing environmental challenges, Mary's insights offer a timely reminder of the power each of us holds to make a difference. Whether you have a sprawling garden or a small balcony, this episode provides inspiration and guidance on creating your own "Ark" for nature. Links 1.

Michael Wara is a lawyer and an expert in wildfire policy who says that solutions are out there, but face financial, political, and cultural resistance. What's needed, he says, are “whole-of-society” approaches that raise wildfire risk to the community level. In this regard, the devastation in Los Angeles in 2025 could provide the spark needed for smarter communication, better policies, and renewed urgency on wildfires, Wara tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Transcript:Hu: Budapest téli csendjében pihen a Botanika Kert.En: In the winter silence of Budapest, the Botanika Kert rests.Hu: A fák ágai csupaszak, néhányan dérrel fedettek, és a hó finoman hintázik az ösvényeken.En: The branches of the trees are bare, some covered with frost, and the snow gently sways on the paths.Hu: A levegő harapós, de üdítő.En: The air is biting, yet refreshing.Hu: Zoltán, a tapasztalt kertész, mély sóhajjal nézi a tájat.En: Zoltán, the experienced gardener, looks at the landscape with a deep sigh.Hu: Szívében furcsa harc dúl, mert szeretett kertje hamarosan változni fog.En: A strange battle rages in his heart because his beloved garden will soon change.Hu: Az új projekt túl sok újat akar bevezetni.En: The new project wants to introduce too many new elements.Hu: Réka, a lelkes tájépítész, épp ilyennel érkezett.En: Réka, the enthusiastic landscape architect, arrived just for this reason.Hu: Réka mosolyogva siet Zoltánhoz.En: Réka hurries to Zoltán with a smile.Hu: Szereti a kihívásokat, és a kert átalakítása izgatja.En: She loves challenges, and the transformation of the garden excites her.Hu: De Zoltán hűvös tekintete mindig kihívás neki.En: But Zoltán's cool gaze is always a challenge for her.Hu: Réka frissíteni akarja a kertet, modern ötletek villannak az elméjében.En: Réka wants to refresh the garden, modern ideas flashing in her mind.Hu: Zoltán viszont aggódik.En: Zoltán, however, is worried.Hu: Számára a változások túlságosan radikálisak.En: For him, the changes are too radical.Hu: Ahogy elindulnak, hogy megbeszéljék a projektet, a kettő között feszültség vibrál.En: As they set out to discuss the project, tension vibrates between them.Hu: Réka megszólal: "Zoltán, szerintem a japán kert új elemeket igényelne.En: Réka speaks up: "Zoltán, I think the japán kert could use new elements.Hu: Nézd, milyen szépen beilleszthetők a modern dizájnba.En: Look how beautifully they can integrate into the modern design."Hu: "Zoltán homlokát ráncolja.En: Zoltán furrows his brow.Hu: "Réka, a japán kert a hagyományaink része.En: "Réka, the japán kert is part of our traditions.Hu: Az új elemek elvehetik a varázsát.En: The new elements might take away its charm."Hu: "A vita egyre élesebb, hangjuk elvegyül a hideg levegőben.En: The debate becomes sharper, their voices mingling in the cold air.Hu: Mindketten kitartanak a saját térfelükön.En: Both stick to their own side.Hu: Zoltán nem akar engedni.En: Zoltán doesn't want to give in.Hu: A kert megőrzése a vérében van.En: Preserving the garden is in his blood.Hu: Réka pedig nem érti, miért ragaszkodik ennyire a régihez.En: Réka doesn't understand why he clings so tightly to the old.Hu: Ahogy a megbeszélés elnyúlik, Réka és Zoltán lassan átélik egymás érvelését.En: As the discussion drags on, Réka and Zoltán slowly begin to appreciate each other's arguments.Hu: Rájönnek, mindketten szeretnék, ha a kert a legjobb lenne.En: They realize they both want the best for the garden.Hu: Egy ponton Zoltán hirtelen megáll, és mélyen Réka szemébe néz.En: At one point, Zoltán suddenly stops and looks deeply into Réka's eyes.Hu: "Réka," mondja, "mi lenne, ha a tradíciókat és az újdonságokat összefonva hoznánk létre valami igazán különlegeset?En: "Réka," he says, "what if we combined traditions and innovations to create something truly special?"Hu: "Réka elgondolkodik.En: Réka thinks it over.Hu: "Talán megtalálhatnánk a középutat.En: "Perhaps we could find a middle ground.Hu: Engem érdekelnének a te javaslataid is.En: I would be interested in your suggestions too."Hu: "Ez a pillanat mindkettőjük számára megkönnyebbülés.En: This moment is a relief for both of them.Hu: A vita hirtelen megenyhül.En: The argument suddenly softens.Hu: Egyensúlyba hozzák ötleteiket.En: They balance their ideas.Hu: Zoltán beleegyezik, hogy néhány új elemet adott pontokon próbálkozzanak ki, míg Réka tiszteletben tartja a hagyományos részek megtartását.En: Zoltán agrees to try a few new elements in certain areas, while Réka respects keeping the traditional parts.Hu: Ahogy újból elindulnak a kertben, együtt dolgozni kezdenek, mindketten mosollyal az arcukon.En: As they set out again in the garden, they begin working together, both with smiles on their faces.Hu: A kert projektje elkezdődik.En: The garden project begins.Hu: A hagyomány és a modernitás találkozása sikeresen megvalósul.En: The meeting of tradition and modernity is successfully realized.Hu: A friss hó alatt rejtőző magokként közös munkájuk is növekedhet, és mindketten tudják, hogy a tavasz új életet hoz majd a kertbe, úgy, ahogy ők is új perspektívával tekintenek a jövőre.En: Like seeds hidden under the fresh snow, their joint work can also grow, and they both know that spring will bring new life to the garden, just as they look to the future with a new perspective.

To the landscape designer Edwina von Gal, gardening is much more than just seeding, planting, weeding, and watering; it's her life calling. Since starting her namesake firm in 1984 in East Hampton, on New York's Long Island, she has worked with, for, and/or alongside the likes of Calvin Klein, Larry Gagosian, Frank Gehry, Maya Lin, Annabelle Selldorf, Richard Serra, and Cindy Sherman, creating gardens that center on native species and engage in other nature-based land-care solutions. In 2008, von Gal founded the Azuero Earth Project in Panama to promote chemical-free reforestation with native trees on the Azuero Peninsula. Stemming out of this initiative, in 2013, she then founded the Perfect Earth Project to promote chemical-free, non-agricultural land management in the U.S. Her most recent effort, Two Thirds for the Birds, is a call-to-action to plant more native plants and eliminate pesticides, thus creating a greater food supply for birds.On the episode, she discusses the meditative qualities of gardening; reframing landscaping as “land care”; and why she sees herself not as a steward of land, but rather as a collaborator with it.Special thanks to our Season 9 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Edwina von Gal[15:32] William Cronon[15:32] Changes in the Land[15:32] Tiokasin Ghosthorse[24:04] Carl Sagan[24:04] The Demon-Haunted World[26:07] Perfect Earth Project[40:37] Two Thirds for the Birds[42:41] John Fitzpatrick[42:41] Cornell Lab of Ornithology[42:41] Merlin Bird ID[47:01] Garden Club of America[50:21] Diana Vreeland[51:09] Peter Sharp[51:09] Channel Gardens at Rockefeller Center[54:46] Frank Gehry[54:46] Biomuseo[54:46] Bruce Mau[56:32] Azuero Earth Project[1:00:37] Doug Tallamy[1:02:01] Nature's Best Hope[1:05:12] The High Line[1:05:12] Brooklyn Bridge Park[1:05:12] The Battery Conservancy[1:05:12] Brooklyn Museum

This week the Vietnamese photographer and author Ngoc Minh Ngo. Ngoc was born in Vietnam in 1963 and grew up during the Vietnam War. Her father, Chau Minh Ngo, was a colonel in the South Vietnam Army and her mother Phi Truong became a nurse's aide after raising eight children. Ngoc was the sixth child—she has four sisters and three brothers. Despite enduring a brutal war, Ngoc describes her childhood as enchanting and beautiful. Her parents did all they could to protect their family and offer some normalcy to those troubling times by spending time on the beach. At the age of 12, shortly before the end of the war in 1975, the family were evacuated to the US and settled in Sacramento, California where, with the help of sponsors, they began a new life. Ngoc described herself as a very shy and reserved child but that did not hinder her development. She found her own way to the University of California, Berkeley where she earned a BA followed by a Masters of Landscape Design at Columbia University. After spending some time traveling to Japan and Europe Ngoc made her way to New York with a view to working in painting restoration. But after a chance encounter while working on a feature film she discovered her true passion was to be photography, so she learned black & white photography and developing. Ngoc's images have been published The World of Interiors, T Magazine, Vogue, Architectural Digest, Cabana, and House & Garden UK. She is also the author of five books: Bringing Nature Home: Floral Arrangements Inspired by Nature; In Bloom: Creating and Living with Flowers, and Eden Revisited: A Garden in Northern Morocco, The House of a Lifetime, and New York Green. She is currently working on a new book entitled Roses in the Garden inspired by her father's death. She has, she says, always been independent and self-contained, paving her own way as a refugee and re-imaging her life as a reflection through the beauty of the images she creates.  Ngoc and her husband, the photographer Julian Wass, live in New York. They have a daughter Lily who works in public health and is also a poet. Ngoc's website: https://www.ngocminhngo.com/Instagram: @minh_ngoc https://www.instagram.com/minh_ngoc Ngoc's playlist:"The Rip by Portishead (I love Beth Gibbons, both with Portishead and her solo work)The Spoils by Massive Attack with Hope Sandoval (I'm a fan of both Hope Sandoval and Massive Attack) Wildfires by Sault (A song about George Floyd that happens to be very catchy)Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez (Poignant song about her relationship with Bob Dylan)Purple Rain by Prince (bog fan of Prince for his fearless originality and incomparable talent)Halo by Ane Brun (Ane Brun is brilliant at reinterpreting other people's song in her inimitable way) Hope We Meet Again by Brit Marling (I love her folksy songs)La Rua Madureira (I love this French interpretation of an iconic bossa nova song)Paradis Perdu by Christine and the Queens (I love the way she combines one of the favorite songs of my childhood with a Kanye song and makes it completely her own)." Ngoc's favorite female artists:Agnes MartinAnni AlbersRuth AsawaHilma af KlintKiki Smith Host: Chris StaffordProduced by Hollowell StudiosFollow @theaartpodcast on InstagramAART on FacebookEmail: hollowellstudios@gmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wisp--4769409/support.

This week the Vietnamese photographer and author Ngoc Minh Ngo. Ngoc was born in Vietnam in 1963 and grew up during the Vietnam War. Her father, Chau Minh Ngo, was a colonel in the South Vietnam Army and her mother Phi Truong became a nurse's aide after raising eight children. Ngoc was the sixth child—she has four sisters and three brothers. Despite enduring a brutal war, Ngoc describes her childhood as enchanting and beautiful. Her parents did all they could to protect their family and offer some normalcy to those troubling times by spending time on the beach. At the age of 12, shortly before the end of the war in 1975, the family were evacuated to the US and settled in Sacramento, California where, with the help of sponsors, they began a new life. Ngoc described herself as a very shy and reserved child but that did not hinder her development. She found her own way to the University of California, Berkeley where she earned a BA followed by a Masters of Landscape Design at Columbia University. After spending some time traveling to Japan and Europe Ngoc made her way to New York with a view to working in painting restoration. But after a chance encounter while working on a feature film she discovered her true passion was to be photography, so she learned black & white photography and developing. Ngoc's images have been published The World of Interiors, T Magazine, Vogue, Architectural Digest, Cabana, and House & Garden UK. She is also the author of five books: Bringing Nature Home: Floral Arrangements Inspired by Nature; In Bloom: Creating and Living with Flowers, and Eden Revisited: A Garden in Northern Morocco, The House of a Lifetime, and New York Green.
