Native, Non-Native, & “Invasive” Plant Species Conversation Series
Join us for our first Conversation Series on the topic of native, non-native, and invasive plant species. We invited three different speakers to share with us their relational and professional experiences with plants. They provide us with their views, experiences, practices, and perhaps some things we have not yet considered. Come, listen to, or read about these conversations and see if you learn something new, share similar experiences, or beg to differ.
Pay-What-You-Can and receive:
Three 1-hour interviews from experts in various fields pertaining to plants.
Transcripts for each of the interviews
Resources provided from each of the interviews
You will have unlimited access to these podcasts. If that changes, we will give you at least a month's notice.
Summary of the Interviews:
Nance Klehm: This interview gives an approach to site assessments and a how-to work with native, non-native, and “invasive” plant species, as well as their effects on the soil and the ecosystems. She approaches plants from a place of respect and observation and what we learn by noticing who is showing up and what they are telling us.
Tabitha Faber: This interview provides a history lesson of the migration of plants and how the war on invasives came to be. Tabitha also goes into detail about her fascinating research with the culinary and medicinal plant, Apazote and it’s many facets.
Alexis Durham: This interview is about navigating relationships with plant beings. Alexis addresses the topic of native, non-native, and invasive plants from a relational and plant medicine perspective.
