Did you know rose petals are edible, and contain lots of healthy fiber?  That's part of today’s podcast, recorded live,  in February 2024, at the Sacramento Rose Society's monthly meeting.
The main topic is  growing the Heart Healthy Garden! And roses can be an edible part of that healthy landscape. 

This podcast episode features  foods to grow that can help lower your cholesterol and blood sugar numbers, as well as help control your blood pressure. Plus, steps to take for "how" and "when" to eat, to help you on the pathway to better health.

It’s all in today’s Episode 345, The Heart Healthy Garden, Live!   brought to you by Smart Pots and Dave Wilson Nursery. Let’s go!
