Episode 81: Kristen Miskelly - Meadow Maker

Kristen Miskelly is a trained biologist with a passion for nature, a love of native plants, and an aspiration to facilitate local ecosystem restoration work. In 2013 she and her husband James opened what is now Satinflower Nurseries in Victoria, British Columbia. Satinflower Nurseries aims to inspire and empower people to restore and conserve nature by providing native plants, seeds, and expertise, and specializes in the restoration and ecology of Garry oak ecosystems and meadowscaping. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Kristen talks about her background in nature and biology, the evolution of her nursery business, and why acting locally to promote the propagation of native species is so beneficial to migratory pollinators and the overall ecosystem.
