Over the past four years, Ferris Jabr and his partner Ryan transformed a derelict grass lawn on their property in Portland, OR into a thriving wildlife garden. At the same time, Ferris was writing a book about how microbes, plants, fungi, and animals have transformed the continents, atmosphere, and oceans, turning what was once just a lump of orbiting rock into our cosmic oasis: a vast interconnected living system that pulses, breathes, and regulates its climate. He ultimately came to see our planet as a garden that sowed itself, watered itself, and has kept itself alive in the vacuum of space for more than four billion years. In this talk, Ferris will explain how his personal experiences with gardening became an important part of his book and take us on a journey through the hidden wonders that bring our planet to life.
