Like everyone around this time of year, I get into a “looking back while looking ahead” combined mindset.

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.

Previously he was a longtime curator of the Native Flora Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
