Shannon Currey on Elevating Plantings with Education (#36)
In this episode of the Plantastic Podcast, I chat with Shannon Currey of Izel Native Plants about her path from social psychology to horticulture and how it shaped her passion for plants and landscapes. Shannon discusses the evolution of perennials in horticulture, from purely decorative elements to essential components of resilient, dynamic plantings. We explore the importance of understanding plant behavior, the role of native grasses and sedges in sustainable landscapes, and why living ground covers are a game-changer for gardeners. Shannon also shares practical insights on using tools like wetland indicator status and the heliophily index to make smarter plant choices and embrace the dynamic nature of gardens. Enjoy the show!
