FROM THE WEEKLY PODCAST
smarter fall (and spring) cleanup, with doug tallamy
WHEN I TALKED to Doug Tallamy in February around the publication date of his latest book, “Nature’s Best Hope,” I didn’t want to go on and on about the advice in it regarding smart fall cleanup, which is one of the ways I know I’ve dramatically shifted the way I manage my own garden compared to 10 or even five years ago. But we were looking ahead to spring then, not fall.
I’m grateful that Doug returned to the podcast in autumn to do just that. Want to plan your most ecologically minded garden cleanup ever, and understand the consequences of each potential action you can take—including next spring?
The subtitle of University of Delaware professor Doug Tallamy’s recent book, “Nature’s Best Hope,” is “A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard.” Meaning: The choices we make all year-round, including the very important one of how we clean up, can help counteract an overdeveloped, fragmented landscape that puts the food web to the test. You and I are nature’s best hope, and I’m glad Doug joined me again to help us learn to support it.

Well done and very much appreciated. I adore the redesign!
Wow, it’s like you have a new haircolor, or a bit of botox! Same A Way to Garden, but jazzier!
I like the look! For some reason, on my browser (sad old IE 7 at work), the bar with green stripes, your picture, and the quotation, “never stop wanting more plants…) sits right across the middle of the screen, blocking whatever is behind it. Right now it sits just below the “Post Comment” button.
Thanks, Elizabeth, and thanks for the specifics. It will take a little while to sort out various browser display issues, but so good to have the details of the IE7 one.
Nice! I like the crisp, clean look. It has a cozy feel. I’m glad the slide show is still prominent; it makes me smile when the page loads and a beautiful photo is right there.
Really like the new site! Esp the calendar with TO DO tasks!! v nice.
