Comments on: the state of the native-plant movement, with rebecca mcmackin https://awaytogarden.com/state-of-the-native-plant-movement-with-rebecca-mcmackin/ 'horticultural how-to and woo-woo' with margaret roach, head gardener Sat, 21 Dec 2024 14:26:11 +0000 hourly 1 By: Patrick Smyth https://awaytogarden.com/state-of-the-native-plant-movement-with-rebecca-mcmackin/comment-page-2/#comment-1385975 Sun, 03 Mar 2024 05:37:26 +0000 https://awaytogarden.com/?p=54154#comment-1385975 Can you point me to these studies?

“ But what they also found in 2021 is that one-third of all U.S. adults had planned to purchase plants to help wildlife, which to me is an absolutely ridiculous amount of people. That a full quarter of the U.S. population was buying native plants specifically. That’s more than 80 million people. And honestly, I couldn’t believe that. But then I found another academic study that put the numbers even higher. They found that 58 percent of gardeners had purchased native plants in the previous year, which gets us to 107 million people, which is literally one-third of the U.S. population.”

You are quite right. I’ve only now noticed how my question was positioned. I will ask Margaret and Rebecca. Thanks.

It is very inspiring even though I live in Colorado, I do pick up some useful information that I can apply to my gardening here in Denver. Keep up the good work!
