Join Andy Scott, owner of ReWild Native Gardens, to plan your garden with native plants and pollinator-friendly practices in mind. Andy will describe how to select the best plants for your project (available at Mississippi Market’s plant sale coming in May) and offer guidance on the long-term care of native plantings in your home garden.

Participants will walk away with native plant resource lists, sample garden designs for specific sites, and lots of educational information from Wild Ones Minnesota and Alt Lawns of Minnesota.

Andy Scott, ReWild Gardens

In 2017, Andy shifted career focus to pursue his passion for nature and gardening. The result was ReWild Gardens, a Bloomington-based landscape outfit specializing in nature-inspired solutions. ReWild designs and builds habitat spaces that foster native plants, healthy soils and water conservation that balance human needs with those of the local ecosystem. Andy's own property served as a testing ground to better understand how native plant species respond to urban settings and developed a natural approach to convert lawn & stressed landscape into resilient wildlife-friendly gardens. These spaces become havens for beneficial insects, birds and other fauna, contributing to vital wildlife corridors. Passionate about sharing his knowledge, Andy works closely with clients to provide education and resources to demystify the plant-pollinator relationships that their landscape will foster.
