Tim Bugenske of Better Finds LLC, a native plant propagator in Saginaw, presents information and stimulates questions. Is the Green Industry business model outdated, even detrimental to the native plant movement? Are ‘nativars’ a disservice to consumers’ ever increasing embrace of native plants? After clarifying the groundbreaking work of Annie S. White and sharing his fears for the future, Tim opens a discussion about whether the native plant community can affect Green Industry change, and if our “message” is now also outdated.
