Welcome to A Rich Spot of Earth! Monticello's podcast about Thomas Jefferson, gardening, and the natural world. In this inaugural episode, Monticello's gardeners and groundskeepers look at seeds — one of the most elemental building blocks of the garden — and seed saving, while sharing stories, tips, and techniques from Jefferson's time and our own.

Featuring Jason Young, Manager and Curator of Historic Gardens at Monticello; Peggy Cornett, our Curator of Plants; and, Debbie Donley, our Flower Gardener.
