Nature-Friendly Spring Gardening

Spring has sprung and for many people, it's time to refresh their gardens. The green spaces near our homes, whether they are simply raised beds or fully landscaped yards, can provide a place of joy and wonder right out our own back doors. But these spaces can also help support our waterways and nature. In today’s episode, we hear from three experts on best practices and tips for nature-friendly spring gardening. In this episode, we talk about native plants and home gardening with Tyler Blankenship from Bates Nursery, soil health with Dr. Robert Florence from the University of Tennessee Extension Soil, Plant, and Pest Center, and invasive plants with Kitty McCracken from the Tennessee Invasive Plant Council.  Find more resources from this episode on our blog: https://cumberlandrivercompact.org/blog/ The Cumberland River Compact is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to enhance the health and enjoyment of the Cumberland River and its tributaries in Tennessee and Kentucky.
