This week on Cultivating Place, we celebrate late summer and fall on the horizon in conversation about one of fall’s stars in the garden: past, present, and future.

CP host Ben Futa is in conversation with Jessica Hall of Harmony Harvest Flower Farm, based in Weyers Cave, Virginia, to explore their "Mum Project."
The project aims to revive chrysanthemum production in the US by preserving, sharing, and evaluating heirloom/heritage mums.
On On November 13th, 2025 Harmony Harvest's annual Virtual Mum Summit returns, bringing together growers, designers, and flower lovers for a full day of inspiration, learning, and fun. Listen in!
