At Olbrich, success is not defined by just creating gorgeous gardens, but also modeling sustainable techniques for fellow gardeners to adopt at home. Erin Presley, a horticulturist at Olbrich for 10 years, walks you through our best practices for attracting and supporting insect life, managing weeds, building soil, and saving water on a scale that is adaptable to whatever space you garden in. This honest appraisal also covers where we could be improving and looks to the audience for your tips, too.
