A Symphony of Native Plants

Season 2 Episode 208 | 26m 46s

Cynthia Meyers is a renowned flautist and principal piccolo player in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. She hears the sounds of nature in symphonies. Using native plants, she makes havens for birds, bees and butterflies in her garden retreat. She focuses on untamed environments, turning a grass front yard into a flower garden. Her shoulder and knee pain are eased through better body alignment.
