Garden Bite with Teri Knight

In March of 2007 I started this 2 minute radio program after being approached by a local media distribution company. My background in radio and television along with becoming a Master Gardener in 2003 cemented my desire to create this show. I have loved producing a space for home gardeners who yearn to learn without feeling judged. Providing a fun, inclusive atmosphere and sharing my “nibbles of knowledge on all things in the garden”. Take a listen to today's show and see lots of photos and links! While I close THIS chapter, I will continue with my website, facebook and instagram pages and urge you to reach out to me through those channels and my email: [email protected]. I also intend on finishing and getting my first book published next year.

On today's Garden Bite I share a little history of Arbor Day and discuss the importance of planting diversity in your landscape as well as sharing a great under utilized tree. Check it out!

Trees and grass were never meant to live together... that's from my Arborist friend, Faith. Trees are in forests, they shade the typical grass. They are both wanting sun and water. Learn more about why they don't relate and how, if you must have grass, what types are best to grow around a tree on today's Garden Bite.

You could say Benjamin Vogt "coined" the term Prairie Up. He's an author I've interviewed a few times for his passion to change the homeowner landscape. I share his message but in a more tempered way. I have been taking small chunks of my lawn away and planting gardens, skipping chemicals and more. Learn about it on today's Garden Bite.

I don’t have a bog or a pond but I know folks who do! Today I’m sharing some great ideas from my new favorite book, “A Northern Gardener’s Guide to Native Plants and Pollinators”. Bogs and ponds are unique. Follow today's Garden Bite for a lot more information and check out my website.

Everyone I talk to is SO excited for gardening season this year. I love it! I spotted a beautiful verbena I plan to use in at least 1 container! ‘Sparkling Amethyst’ is a stunner. Sharing more fun plants for 2023 on today's Garden Bite.

My local gardener friends are giddy. The 2022/23 winter was long but finally we’re on the other side with warm temperatures and drought conditions over, our local garden center flowers are on full display. Today I'm sharing some new annuals for 2023. Check them out on my website too.

If you planted seeds indoors, you’re seeing sprouts now. I’ve got okra coming big time! Tomatoes, peppers and more. Now is the time to give them some extra attention. Today's Garden Bite is all about it. Check out my website for pics and more info.
