Cultivating Place: The Rhythms Of The Universe: The CapRadio Garden At Sac State's Summer Concert Series, W/ Concert Director Jennifer Reason & Garden Coordinator Nicole McDavid

On Cultivating Place this week we celebrate (and say farewell) to the fullness of summer at its calendar-end with Labor Day weekend in full view here in the US.

We do this with some moving and wonderful sounds of a summer concert series not only held in but inspired by a remarkable urban garden: the Capital Public Radio Garden at Sacramento State University, a garden of food, habitat, gathering, season, and meaning in California’s capital city of Sacramento, California.

We’re in conversation with Jennifer Reason, musician, CapRadio’s Mid-Day Classical Music Host and Summer Garden Concert Director, and with CapRadio’s Garden Coordinator Nicole McDavid.

They - the women, the concert series musicians and music, the garden itself - all remind us of just how much one garden can hold, no less than the breadth and depth of our planet’s seasonal faces and our incredibly diverse expressions of humanity – in grief, in community, and in joy. Listen in!

Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place.

We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations.

The show is available as a podcast onSoundCloud,iTunes, Google Podcast, and Stitcher. To read more and for many more photos please visit cultivatingplace.com.
