Pots, Planters and Promise

Posted on | In the News

Mary Ann Sternberg wrote a lovely article in the Advocate, titled, “Wild Ones: Nurturing backyard native plants in Baton Rouge. Here’s how you can, too.” She interviews Wild Ones Greater Baton Rouge President, Janine Kharey, and takes us through her incredibly diverse native garden and nursery all contained within a residential Baton Rouge yard. She also interviews Wild Ones Treasurer, Janie Braud, describing how she changed her traditional landscaping to native plants.
