Cultivating Place

This week when many in the US have time off with family and friends, we note our gratitude for Public Gardens and green spaces around our country and in our lives. Guest-Host Abra Lee is in conversation with one of North America’s public garden leaders, Paul Redman.

In honor of the season of gratitude, festivities, long nights, rest, and reflection upon us, this week we revisit a BEST OF conversation with Robin Wall Kimmerer, Indigenous scholar, professor, land and culture tender, MacArthur Genius Grant award winner, mother, and all around wonderful human.

Tony Spencer is the plantsman cultivator behind the Canadian-based endeavor, which for the last decade has been known as The New Perennialist.

This week on Cultivating Place, guest host Ben Futa of Botany in South Bend, Indiana is back and this time in conversation with John Kish in the desert town of Bend, Oregon.

Host Jennifer Jewell had the great joy of visiting Wild Dreams Farm & Seed this past summer and is so pleased to welcome Jen Williams to Cultivating Place this week on the seasonal harvest-to-winter transition, life-and-death-and-life-again-cycle celebration day of All Hallows Eve/Samhain.
