Carol Andrews shares her five favorite ways to learn more about wild gardening (we've reprinted them below, with clickable links)  ... oh, and an inappropriate story about a towel.

1) The book Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants by Doug Tallamy

2) Wild Ones website - and Tallamy's article "Gardening For Life"

3) Minnesota Wildflowers, a website/field guide to the flora of Minnesota

4) Wild Ones - Arrowhead Chapter programs start at Hartley Nature Center in September

5)  The annual Design with Nature conference held every February by the Wild Ones Twin Cities chapter.

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
