From Backyard to Habitat: Designing a Garden That Gives Back - with Honeywood Garden Design

What happens when a homeowner who believes in pollinator-friendly landscapes teams up with a designer who knows how to bring that vision to life?On this episode of SYNKD On Air, Angelique Robb talks with Callae Gedrose of Honeywood Garden Design and homeowner Bonnie Sutherland about the transformation of Bonnie’s Denver garden into a thriving, regenerative pollinator habitat.Planted during one of Colorado’s toughest droughts, the garden filled in remarkably within its first growing season—bringing native bees, hummingbirds, moths, butterflies and other wildlife into the landscape. Callae explains how dense planting, native and regionally adapted plants, healthy soil and regenerative practices can create beautiful landscapes while using less water over time.The conversation also goes beyond one backyard. Bonnie shares the story of the Washington Park Pollinator Corridor, a community initiative connecting individual gardens to create more habitat throughout Denver—and proving that even a small planting or container garden can contribute.For landscape professionals, homeowners and anyone interested in creating landscapes with a greater purpose, this episode offers an inspiring look at what can happen when good design, ecological knowledge and community come together.Because one garden can make a difference. A whole community of them can create a corridor.Connect with Callae here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/callaegedrose/Find out more about the Pollinator Corridor here:https://www.fanswashingtonpark.org/pollinator-corridor
