Thursday Night Nature: Climbers and Creepers: Vines with Ethan Kauffman (July 11, 2024)

Give your garden more dimension by adding native vines. These climbing, creeping or trailing plants can become a textural backdrop for other plants and can be used in a variety of ways. Bonus: many vine species offer food for birds and other wildlife.

Ethan Kauffman currently serves as Natural Lands’ first director of Stoneleigh: a natural garden and 42-acre former estate located in Villanova, PA, which opened to the public in 2018. He developed his love of the natural world exploring the Susquehanna River hills in Southeastern PA. He cultivated his horticultural perspective over two decades of gardening in the deep South, including as director of Moore Farms Botanical Garden, where he led the transition from a private pleasure garden to a public botanical garden. Drawing on influences from both regions, Kauffman enjoys creating a garden experience at Stoneleigh that inspires others to garden for beauty, biodiversity and the health of our planet.
