EPISODE 1: REBECCA MCMACKIN
Step inside the private Connecticut garden of Rebecca McMackin — where one of America's most influential ecological horticulturists practices what she preaches.
For over a decade, Rebecca served as Director of Horticulture at Brooklyn Bridge Park, transforming 85 acres into thriving habitat for people and wildlife. She's a Harvard Loeb Fellow, Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, and her TED Talk on ecological horticulture has been viewed over 1 million times.
But this isn't Brooklyn Bridge Park. This is her home.
In this 10-minute woodland garden tour, watch how Rebecca creates habitat in her own Connecticut sanctuary — the native plants she prioritizes, the low-intervention approach she practices, and the beauty that emerges when you let nature lead.
This is where the rewilding revolution actually lives.
