Wishing you the happiest of holidays! In our final episode of the year, we invite you to join us for some festive cheer as we speak with legendary organic gardener and author Maria Rodale about her new book, Love, Nature, Magic: Shamanic Journeys Into The Heart Of My Garden. In her book Maria chronicles the shamanic journeys she undertakes to communicate with plants, animals and insects. She says it's time for all of us to learn to love life and our gardens just as they are. We also have a special holiday message for the kids from Mrs. Peaknuckle.
