In this lecture, Arboretum Executive Director Ellie Altman expands the definition of gardening to embrace agriculture, stormwater management, ecological restoration, land development, and wildlife habitat protection to inspire the adoption of a land ethic for better human habitat. While the heightened awareness of mankind's impact on the planet emphasizes loss and deterioration, Altman makes the case for turning the focus toward nature's resilience and humans' desire to understand and celebrate nature.
