When I last 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 about 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. 

But now's the time, and I'm grateful that Doug is back on the show 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?  

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 in fall and again in spring, 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 on the radio program and podcast to help us learn to support it.
