Meet the Co-Host: Simon Payn's Journey to Ecological Gardening

In this special episode of The Highlands Gardening and Environment Show, the microphone changes hands as co-host Simon Payn becomes our featured guest. Founder of Grounded, Simon is an ecological landscaper, gardener, and community leader who has helped homeowners throughout Haliburton County create beautiful, sustainable landscapes that work with nature rather than against it. Host Dianne Woodcock asks Simon many of the questions listeners frequently send in, exploring topics including native gardening, ecological landscaping, stewardship, and practical ways every gardener can make a positive impact on local biodiversity. Whether you're just beginning your gardening journey or looking to deepen your understanding of ecological gardening, Simon shares practical advice, personal experiences, and the philosophy that has guided his work throughout the Highlands.
