The Garden Mixer

Kathy Jentz of Garden DC has written another book: Groundcover Revolution: How to use sustainable, low-maintenance, low-water groundcovers to replace your turf - 40 alternative choices for: - No Mowing. - No fertilizing. - No pesticides. - No problem!

Author of "The Ultimate Flower Gardener's Guide" and "Glorious Shade", Jenny Rose Carey is a fount of information on how to grow. In her 4.5 acre garden north of Philadelphia, called North View, Jenny has shade, sun, dry gardens--

even a stumpery! Come into Jenny's garden and learn some good tips and information.

Laura Boissonault of How's it Growing and I have a good old garden chat about her New Jersey creation, complete with green house.

So brief because you know how moving is… But I just wanted to say hello and I'll be back in two weeks' time with a more normal episode.

Back to unpacking!

How about a book that gives you a plethora of suggestions on how to garden sustainably or regeneratively? Chris presents a wide range of ideas in her book "The Good Garden" but no mandates and no guilt about the choices you have as you care for your land.

Two interviews about new gardens! Here are edited versions of Episodes 62 and 14, which were very helpful for me to re-visit with my impending move!

...even though it appears that this is the 101st and counting is not my strong suit. Listen to Jen describe her booming business in Houston Texas (but willing to expand!) that sets up clients with ready to go raised beds for veg, herbs and pollinators.

Garden Writers, Ranters, Speakers and friends, Marianne and Scott join me to talk about garden travel (past AND future) and the correspondence that they treat us with on the blog Garden Rant.

I named this episode as #99 because somewhere along the line I must have lost count-- seems like it may instead be the big 1-0-0!

I chat with Kevin Graham and Dragan Kurbalija about their farm in King George's County, Virginia. More news on my move-- we have found a place and it is tiny! How do you curate a ton of plants and containers?

I interview Nick McCullough, horticulturist, nurseryman, designer, speaker and author, about his new book, written with his wife Allison and Teresa Woodard. Titled American Roots, the book explores some of the best of our gardens, and gardeners, right here in America. After last week's announcement of us moving away from this garden, I begin to talk about HOW I will choose plants to take or leave and the process of ending one garden and starting another.
