In this episode of In Sync with Nature, we explore the idea of biophilia - the innate human tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life.
From small-scale garden naturalizations to emerging sustainability practices in the built environment, we explore together what biophilia means and the benefits it delivers to humans.
Our guests are:
- Kevin Kavanaugh, the owner of South Coast Gardens, who provides landscape design services with a focus on helping his clients naturalize their space.
-Sherry Shrubb, a local resident who had an epiphany, and, with Kevin’s help, started a naturalization project on her property.
- David Premi, a Hamilton-based community leader and award-winning architect. David introduces the concept of biomimicry, or translating nature’s strategies into design.
