Who better to talk about that with than my guest, Uli Lorimer, director of horticulture at Native Plant Trust, the nation's oldest plant-conservation organization.
Uli Lorimer, author of “The Northeast Native Plant Primer,” has made native plants his life's work. In 2019, he became director of horticulture at Native Plant Trust, which was founded in 1900 as the New England Wild Flower Society. Previously he was a longtime curator of the Native Flora Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
