Elements of a Garden, the 2023 Native Plant Garden Tour podcast celebrates the hidden meaning within our gardens - how each element is nested within something larger: a seed, a plant, a garden, an ecosystem. Join UCLA climate scientist and native plant gardener Dr. Alex Hall and TPF Executive Director Evan Meyer for an exploration of a single garden within the deeper context of environmental and cultural forces shaping our changing planet.
