Michelle Reeser West is joined by “Green Jean” Ponzi of the Missouri Botanical Garden’s EarthWays Center to talk about creating healthier, more biodiverse landscapes. They discuss arboretum and community woodland projects, native plants, invasive species and the ecological benefits of less-manicured gardens. Jean also breaks down the science behind mosquitoes, what attracts them, why neighborhood spraying has limitations and practical ways to reduce them around your home.
