Rethinking Horticulture with Real Ecology (Webinar)

An event by Wild Ones.

In this candid Wild Ones National Webinar, Joey Santore invites participants to step back and examine where those expectations came from and what they cost us ecologically.

Drawing from decades of field experience and his work on the forthcoming book Concrete Botany: The Ecology of Plants in the Age of Human Disturbance, Joey explores what real plant communities actually look like when allowed to organize themselves. He unpacks how plants interact in space, how disturbance shapes vegetation, and why irregular, dense, and sometimes “messy” growth often signals ecological strength rather than neglect.
