This week we’re back with a new guest interview all about plants and sustainability with Farmer Nick! 

Nick is a “plantrepreneur” who is passionate about all things green. As a full-time plant coach, urban gardener, and landscape designer, Nick’s mission is to give people the knowledge and confidence they need to create their own green spaces in the pursuit of environmental action and social justice. Nick has more than 100 clients in NYC + LA and has been featured in the NY Times, Vogue, Food Network, Business Insider, Goop and the Netflix original series "The Big Flower Fight”.

In this episode, we chat about:
  • How learning to cook as a child is a privilege that makes living vegan easier
  • Nick’s favorite childhood meals he immediately learned to veganize
  • Beginners steps for growing your own food at home (hint: grow things you want to actually eat)
  • Why you need to grow pollinator-free plants inside
  • The importance of farmers, human rights, and land rights in sustainable food systems
  • How human rights are underrepresented in the vegan community
  • How to take your first step toward a more sustainable lifestyle
  • Avoiding the sustainability rabbit hole by choosing what you can control
  • Nick’s favorite brands for sustainable personal care items
  • What is a plant coach and how Nick got started in this line of work
