Nancy Lawson - The Humane Gardener

With today being World Nature Conservation Day, we're revisiting this Big Blend Radio interview with Nancy Lawson, author of “The Humane Gardener: Nurturing a Backyard Habitat for Wildlife." In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards.

Nancy is also the founder of Humane Gardener, an outreach initiative dedicated to cultivating compassion for all creatures great and small through animal-friendly, environmentally sensitive landscaping methods.  She speaks frequently to local and national audiences and volunteers as a master naturalist and master gardener in central Maryland. After an early career in newspaper journalism, she worked for more than 15 years as an editor and publisher at The Humane Society of the United States, leading the creative teams behind the organization’s award-winning print and digital magazines.
