From Niche to Neighborhood | Expanding the Native Plant Movement | Panel Discussion

Closing out Santa Barbara Botanic Garden's Annual Conservation Symposium, a panel explores how the native plant movement is expanding beyond specialized gardens to transform entire communities. Panelists include homeowner Hugh Ranson, Elings Park Executive Director Dean Noble, Horticultural Educator Alejandro Lemus, and professor and best-selling author Doug Tallamy. The discussion highlights how different settings and landscapes throughout a community can be used to achieve the shared goal of enhancing biodiversity. It also explores collaborative efforts that are turning private yards, public spaces, and community landscapes into thriving habitats for people and wildlife alike.
