In a world that needs a great deal from us right now, we can almost never go wrong by igniting our creativity.

This week on CP we dive deeper into ArtTober in conversation with one of our favorite creatives, artists, gardeners, writers, teachers, and flower lovers.

We’re speaking once again with writer, photographer, and potter Frances Palmer about her new book Life with Flowers, inspiration and lessons from the garden (2025, Artisan), a sort of Masterclass in growing, arranging with, and loving the art of flowers.

A previous guest on the program, one of the 75 women featured in my book The Earth in Her Hands, Frances, is a fantastic inspiration for any creative gardener-maker out there! Listen in!
