  • BEST OF CP: TO BE A SEED KEEPER, Rowen White
    As we head into the month of September, and we tend toward the Autumnal Equinox later in the month, I am reminded of this being one of the best seed seasons in our gardens and in our wildlands.
    Ecosystems everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere are reminded by the light of the need to set seed before growing season’s end.
    I thought this was a perfect moment to return to one of the episodes from our series last year entitled Seeds of September. Today Cultivating Place revisits our conversation with SeedKeeper, Indigenous woman, mother, writer and Seed Rematriator, Rowen White.
    Rowen is the founder of Sierra Seeds, the chair of Seed Savers Exchange, and an active member of the Indigenous Seed Keeper Network. Sierra Seeds is a small, regional seed and seed stewardship cooperative based in Nevada County, California. Listen in for more!

    Starting with mostly native plants suited for climates and soils of the Northeast, these gardens have as their foundation principles applicable no matter where you garden. Including really interesting correlations with the age old art and science of perfumery. Join us!

  • Where The Wild Things Are: The Wild Yards Project, With David Newsom
    David Newsom is a filmmaker, storyteller, and outdoorsman. But when his daughter was born he realized he wanted to bring her butterflies, bees and all the rich diversity of the world, and so he became a gardener to a wild backyard.
    That very human impulse led to his founding of the Wild Yards Project – a non profit organization working to encourage and support the creation of native plant habitat gardens through audio visual stories of native plant visionaries and webbuilding. He shares more on cultivating place this week. Join us.
