Whether or not you garden, ALL homeowners can benefit from learning about creating home landscapes that support bees, butterflies and other invertebrates. Learn how you as a homeowner can be a part of the solution to ecological problems! Dr. Doug Tallamy has conducted decades of research and authored several books educating the public on the interaction between insects and plants and on creating habitats that support our pollinators. Learn about using plants that support food webs in culturally acceptable ways. This video discusses pollinators and host plants for monarchs and other butterflies, reducing the amount of lawn, ground covers to replace lawn, avoiding invasive plants with examples of these, plants for meadows, plants for wet areas, differences between specialist and generalist pollinators, native fruit trees, and so much more! The current research he is working on is discussed as well as butterflies, bees and moths and their role in pollination. Dr. Tallamy encourages young people to begin a career in ecological landscaping and in this video he discusses his vision for Homegrown National Park and how landowners across the country can help solve ecological problems.
