Episode 1 0 of season 2 is Part 1 of conversation with Monai, known by many as the Plant Mom of Amsterdam. She talks us through her journey from a kid in Jamaica Queens raised by a mama who made her go outside and camp every summer to becoming an international plant revolutionary in Amsterdam. She dabbled in floristry and fashion merchandising but a lunch break plant habit activated the plant mom in her who has helped and inspired many green thumbs! Monai's story is proof that it pays to see the beauty in this unpredictable journey we're all on called life.

Episode 9 of Season 2 features our Botanical Brotha, Gerard Volel aka Brooklyn Plant Dad. Gerard is a horticulturist and landscaper and MORE who WILL travel for plants! Born to parents of Haitian and Jamaican descent, he grew up reading his dad's gardening books in their New Jersey basement.  Gerard  got grown and decided to re-locate to Brooklyn as well as spend time in Maui to live his best plant life via community gardening, planty workshops and landscaping.  Colah B Tawkin originally spoke with him earlier in 2020 (before the world imploded) as he was preparing for a trip to Japan. Fortunately, we were able to get an update on the trip in the same episode!

Part 2 of our Conversation with our favorite neighbor, Nick is just as insightful as the first with just as many gems. Nick breaks down the difference between freedom and liberation on the heels of an extra Black Juneteenth.  Colah B Tawkin and Nick discuss how we define Black liberation. Nick shares a bit of his personal liberation from the drive-thru lines of Los Angeles and throws all the shade at y'all favorite burger pushing clown. Gems were also dropped about the vitality of intergenerational connections in community gardens in the hood. Spoiler alert! Beethoven is a Brotha?!

On Episode 6 of Season 2, Colah B Tawkin opens with a lot of transparency about what had happened to the 'lost' episode (and why), concerns about the white gaze and the state of the Black delegation.

We're joined by the Host of Kinda Hippie, Kinda Hood  podcast: Siri Lorece!  She's a multi-passionate Iowa girl in a California World who does all the things:  multi-zone gardener, musician, homeschooling mom, wife, yogi, community builder and beyond. Siri and Colah chopped it up about her humble beginnings with a  ‘struggly patch’ in Chicago, lavender germination fails, exploring the dichotomy of hippie and hood as a black woman, the vulnerability of podcasters + more in this pre-pandemic conversation. Do you remember the time?

On episode 5, Season 2 of Black in the Garden, Colah finally reveals our tribe name: SoilCousins! 

We joined The Plant Kween, Christopher Griffin, for a candid and in depth conversation while she watered her Green Gurls in her new apartment in NYC. She dropped a few bars about West Philly where she's born and raised. We learned about the positive parental support that makes up the foundation of the Kween. The tea was truly wisdom as so many gems were dropped about themes including: femmephobia, gender identity and the challenges of finding oneself + community as a black queer femme navigating different spaces. Christopher shares a few tips on surviving a plant move in Brooklyn and we learn how a trip abroad gave them a new STRUT.

On Episode 4 of Season 2 on Black in the Garden we are joined by the Urban Farm Sista and entomologist, Nadia Ruffin to chop it up about that #BUGLife! Colah had lots of questions and Nadia was ready to drop all the science on this episode. We learned how love and encouragement from her great grandmother set Nadia on a journey to entomological excellence at a tender age and how education can help overcome your bug related phobias. 

.

If you ever wondered: WTF is a cicada? What's a true bug? What happened to the fireflies? Where does SILK come from? Ayyyee...you might just be about that #BUGLife and this episode is for you!
