196 Jaclyn Crupi - Getting messy outside for birds, bees & butterflies (+ anything else that wants to move in!)
Manage episode 502221038 series 2763604
Spring is peeking through here in Southern Australia, and today we’re heading into the garden — but not just for veggies. We’re going a little wild for the birds, bees, and butterflies. Our guest, Jaclyn Crupi, lifelong gardener and many times author, grew up with her nonna and nonno’s hands-in-the-dirt wisdom. These days, she’s transformed her patch beyond just a productive veggie garden into a thriving sanctuary that welcomes not just humans, but insects, birds, fungi — the whole backyard ecosystem. Whether you’ve got a big block, a small suburban yard, or even just a balcony, Jaclyn’s here to share how messy gardening and even a ‘lizard lounge’ can turn any space into a refuge for wildlife.
We chat about why those with their hands in the dirt are leaving a legacy, telling stories though our gardening & why we need messy gardens now more than ever.
