Quotes by Rick Darke (?)

“native: a plant or animal that has evolved in a given place over a period of time sufficient to develop complex and essential relationships with the physical environment and other organisms in a given ecological community.”
― Rick Darke, The Living Landscape: Designing for Beauty and Biodiversity in the Home Garden

“Ecosystems function locally, not globally. Local extinction, the disappearance of a species within, say, the woodlot down the street, or even your front yard, is now predicted to compromise the productivity of that woodlot and your yard.”
― Rick Darke, The Living Landscape: Designing for Beauty and Biodiversity in the Home Garden

“One of the most important functionalities is durability: the capacity to thrive over a long time without dependence on resource-consuming maintenance regimes.”
