Emma Witbeck, Marketing and Communications Assistant at Tower Hill Botanic Gardens, has compiled a list of TED talks for us to take advantage of while the weather and COVID-19 keep us indoors.

We have all had to spend some extra time indoors these days, and that means a lot of us are spending that time watching videos on the world wide web. You might as well throw some TED talks into your binge schedule and say that you learned something new about the world of plants! Here is the first that might inspire you to get out and grow… or convince you to continue down a rabbit hole of videos and Google searches. We will highlight more in the coming days.

Even if you are just one person looking to make a difference, gardening can keep you fed, help your neighborhood, support the ecosystem, and make you a rebel! Be like Ron Finley (who happens to be featured in Tower Hill’s Horticultural Heroes Exhibit), go rogue and spontaneously plant some seeds and see what comes of it.
