Native Plants, Natural Landscapes has been in existence for 25 years. In our
bi-monthly Journal we frequently mention and do what we can to promote other
organizations that have missions that are consonant with ours—‘promotion of
biodiversity through the preservation, restoration, and establishment on native
plant communities’. We act on the premise that education that promotes
environmental sensibility and encourages the consumer to behave in a
responsible manner is valuable regardless of its source. The more sources of
information the consumer is made aware of, the more likely that ‘something will
register’. Further, the more discussions like this one that one participates
in, the more that some of the finer points that have been raised here come to
light and gel and factor into one’s thinking on the subject. And, the more
aware one becomes of the notion that ‘it’s all one piece’. <o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

on-line! <br>
It could not have come at a better time. I am planning a symposium specifically
to promote discussion between "gardeners" and conservationists. This
week I need to talk to potential sponsors. <br>
This on-line discussion really illustrates the need for communication between
the two groups. As conservationists we seem to "preach to the choir"
to often and as gardeners we do not always grasp the full implications of
planting decisions. Sniping at each other is counterproductive for both groups.
Promoting education about species interrelationships and the need to protect
diversity can only be in the best interest of all of us. <br>
