À propos de cette écoute

 Two friends discuss their passions and creations tied through various plant genera. Each episode dives into a specific genus, with a focus on the species native to New England. We talk about the plants first, then their associated wildlife. We are wildlife too, and ecological engineers, so it ends with us. We talk about indigenous and historical uses, and current use from foraging to growing and improving ecosystems. We would love to help you to improve your relationship with the more-than-human world, as we grow our own connection.Elias and Niladri Science Sciences de la Terre

    • Asclepias - Milkweed

      Asclepias - Milkweed
      Aug 4 2025

      Eli and Niladri talk about Asclepias (the Milkweeds). We start with some of the cool unique characteristics of species of Milkweeds -- botany for non-botanists, by plant enthusiasts. We talk about many of the New England species, and Showy Milkweed that is common out West, then move on to the vast diversity of associated wildlife (yes, including Monarch Butterflies).


      The second half is on human use, from the use by many Indigenous peoples throughout the US, to use by foragers, in integrated pest management (IPM) and in ecological gardening across cultures today. The Common and Showy Milkweeds that thrive on disturbance, and have accompanied human agriculture for the last millennium, actually thrive when harvested. These species are a wonder wonderful example of how our use of native species can benefit wildlife, and us, at the same time.
