It's a pleasure to share this chat that I had with Tim Sallin about the work happening across Florida to help shift garden habitats at scale in support of biodiversity.

The Outside Collab brings together many minds with an aim to reshape Florida's landscapes in response to growing pressures from huge population growth and the impacts this has on resources, community and climate.

It's a unique context but with insights that could be relevant to so many of us worldwide.

We Talk About:

• Garden management in new housing developments
• The impact of native flora on irrigation needs
• Gardens that heal biodiversity & climate
• Supporting homeowners in creating native gardens
