LABS: Neko Case and Rebecca McMackin on Ecological Horticulture

Recorded live at Boston’s Museum of Science on July 31, 2025.
Visionary singer-songwriter Neko Case joins ecological
horticulturist and Brooklyn Bridge Park garden designer Rebecca
McMackin for a wide-ranging conversation about land stewardship,
biodiversity, and the joys of gardening. From Neko’s epic Vermont
garden to Rebecca’s work creating pollinator-friendly urban
habitats, the two share practical advice for beginning and urban
gardeners alike, discuss the symbiosis between plants and wildlife,
and explore how cultivating green spaces can nurture both
ecosystems and the human spirit.
