The Aldo Leopold Foundation is thrilled to welcome Joe Lamp’l, the passionate voice behind joegardener® to Land Ethic Live! for an inspiring conversation on how gardening can be a powerful act of restoration. In Gardening for Good: Restoring Land, Life, and Community, Joe will share how tending to our yards and gardens is about more than aesthetics or food production—it’s an opportunity to rebuild soil health, support biodiversity, and reconnect with the land in ways that benefit both people and the planet.

Rooted in the spirit of Aldo Leopold’s land ethic, this conversation will explore how everyday gardeners can be conservationists, using their backyards to nurture ecosystems, sequester carbon, and create havens for wildlife. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just beginning your journey with plants, Joe’s insights will leave you inspired to see your garden as part of a larger restoration movement—one that heals the land, strengthens communities, and deepens our relationship with the natural world.
