Healing History ‘23’s featured speaker is Aaron Kampe. Kampe will share the history and practice of the naturalistic gardening movement. An informative and engaging speaker, his ecological approach to gardening will be one not to miss.
Naturalistic gardening, also known as natural gardening or wild gardening, is an approach to landscaping that seeks to mirror the natural environment. This style of gardening emphasizes the use of native plants and strives to create a space that looks and functions like a naturally occurring ecosystem. The goal is to foster biodiversity, support local wildlife, and create a low-maintenance garden that thrives with minimal human intervention.
Kampe is a member of the International Dendrological Society and his garden has been featured on BBC’s Gardener’s World. Together with his young daughter, he hosts the Botany for Kids channel on YouTube. His company, Elk Haven Herbals, specializes in the medicinal use of plants. In the last decade he has created, designed, and developed over a dozen niche retail products, some of which sell worldwide.
