Today I’m on the glorious Mendocino Coast in the garden of my very special guests Winnie Pitrone and Andy Mackey. Winnie is an organic flower grower who creates floral bouquets that are sought-after around the country, as her work emanates joy, reverence for the garden, and a deep connection with Nature. Andy is an organic horticulturist who uses mostly hand tools, as he honors Nature as the main gardener. In our conversation we talk about what it means to lead a life in harmony with Nature and in concert with the life cycle of flowers. Learn more at https://www.floraofthefields.com/Flora of the Fields Movie: https://vimeo.com/777903610Visit www.dinasaalisi.com to learn more about Dina, buy her books, and discover how you can cultivate wellbeing with the energies of nature.Join Dina for her upcoming Flowers and Sound Workshop in Woodside, CALearn more about your ad choices.
