The Growing Season

The Growing Season, March 16, 2024 - Gardens Through Time


Listen Later

Lets get down to some horticultural history.

Gardens through time are the focus of this week's episode of The Growing Season. 

The Aztecs, The Myans, The Romans, The French, The Indians and The Japanese come into focus as some of the innovators in garden tech.  The French, in particular, have some sordid history intertwined with their horticulture.

THEY HAD THEIR CAKE AND ATE AND ATE AND ATE!

Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland meander through the history books and uncover some of the most discussed horticultural spaces that have ever graced a landscape. 

Matt also details The Growing Season's new position featuring in horticultural segments on The Weather Network. 

Being so close to St. Patrick's Day the trio discuss the ins and outs of how horticulture intersect with Green Beer Day. What was the main cause of the potato famine in Ireland?   How does this tie into St. Patrick's Day.

All that and more...
