In this episode I have a lovely conversation with Doug Oster, an Emmy award-winning garden host, writer, and producer, at his forested homestead in the North Hills. We delve into Doug's journey into gardening, starting from his grandmother's garden to becoming a renowned garden guru. Doug discusses his beginnings as a photo editor, his transition into gardening and writing, and his eventual success in various media platforms including TV, radio, and the internet. Key topics include successful gardening techniques, rehabilitation of environmental areas by letting nature do what it does naturally, and Doug's personal evolution as a gardening expert.
