From Seven Generations Ahead and PlanIt Green:
Residential landscapes must become the nature sanctuaries of tomorrow, and it must happen today.

In this conversation, Horticulturist Ken Williams will describe why this must happen, and he will provide practical tips for how to make it happen where you live and work.

The key to this transformation is the use of native plants, the plants best suited to support our local ecosystems.

Horticulturist Ken Williams has drilled oil wells, restored prairies, and done a lot of what lies between. A lifelong vegetable gardener with a love for natural history and native plants, horticulture became his life while working for 16 years at a small town city park and zoo in Kansas. Since 2008 he has participated in the ecological landscape movement in the Chicago area. He and his wife Christine Nye work to help the sun use plants to provide abundant breath, food and beauty.
