The joe gardener Show - Organic Gardening - Vegetable Gardening - Expert Garden Advice From Joe Lamp'l

We spend a lot of time on this show talking about what we plant — the natives, the pollinator favorites, the plants that do the heavy lifting in a healthy garden. But today, I want to flip that around and talk about who's actually using all that habitat that we work so hard to create. So joining me this week is award-winning science and nature writer and photographer Margie Patlak, the author of "Insect Safari: Exploring the Wondrous World of Everyday Bugs."
