Natural plant communities provide inspiration and guidance

aesthetically pleasing designs that mimic plant associations found in
nature. Join Tim Spira for a

found in the Piedmont region of the Carolinas. Tim is a plant ecologist, native
plant gardener, hiker, and professor of botany at Clemson University. He’s the
