Native plants are helping Louisiana grow stronger, from backyards to bayous. One family's restoration project showcases the importance of gardening for the future.
Three years ago, research for a podcast about the environment in South Louisiana began with an interview with Matt Conn, owner of an environmental and ecological consulting company. He restored 67 acres of land, creating a haven for nature lovers.
Since then, a film called Louisiana Grass Roots was made about coastal prairies, and a podcast titled No Matter the Water was released. The podcast includes an episode featuring someone who gardens at home with native plants, titled "De Sha."
