Why do native plant gardens still get judged by tidy rows, clean edges, and perfect spacing? In this free Wild Ones National Webinar, field botanist and science communicator Joey Santore (Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t) challenges inherited garden aesthetics and explores what real ecology actually looks like.

? About the Webinar
Traditional horticultural norms — straight lines, symmetry, uniform spacing — often conflict with how plant communities naturally function. Drawing from decades of field experience and his forthcoming book Concrete Botany, Joey examines how disturbance, density, and even “messiness” can signal ecological strength, not neglect.

You’ll learn:
✨ How inherited design standards shape expectations for native landscapes
✨ What real plant communities look like across disturbance gradients
✨ Why symmetry and tidiness can reduce biodiversity and soil health
✨ How to reframe “messy” landscapes as intentional, resilient systems

? About the Presenter
Joey Santore is a naturalist, educator, author, illustrator, and host of the popular YouTube channel Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t. Through field-based storytelling, writing, and media, he challenges conventional narratives about beauty, weeds, and land management — encouraging a deeper, more honest relationship with the living world.
