Bringing Back the Natives Tour, Kathy Kramer

In a continuation of Women’s History Month and our ongoing exploration of who gardeners are, where gardeners are, and what they are growing in this world, especially as it relates to improving the impact of our gardening lives on the larger planet, I am so pleased to be in conversation this week with Kathy Kramer. Kathy is a long-time advocate for native plant and ecological gardening based on the natives of your area, and she has been determined for many, many years to demonstrate just how beautiful that concept of gardening can be. She is the founder of The Bringing back the Natives Garden Tour, based in the Bay Area of Northern California, but which after 19 years in operation, has country-wide acclaim. The tour and the gardening-ethos it cultivates and celebrates can be replicated anywhere we as humans garden. As Spring draws closer - Enjoy! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud, iTunes, Google Podcast, and Stitcher. To read more and for many more photos please visit www.cultivatingplace.com.
