Garden Variety

On this final episode of our first season, we visit Jon Carloftis at historic Botherum, his home and garden. We talk about his start in gardening, learn the history of the home, and tour the beautiful grounds.

Ben gives Christine a tour of his first-year garden - we talk all about what he did to get started, what he wanted to do differently, and how things have changed since then.

Christine gives Ben a tour of the gardens at her house - we talk all about what she'd done in 2019, what she had planned for the future of her garden, and how things have changed since then.

Christine and Ben visit the home and back-yard garden of Kris Reitz, a landscaper based in Lexington, Kentucky. We talk all about his start in landscaping, the importance of mentorship, and even get a few hot tips on sourcing plants on the cheap.

Christine and Ben visit the home of Katrina Kelly to see her beautiful front-yard garden. We talk with her all about the variety of beautiful plants, rain gardens, and about the controversy the garden caused with some of her neighbors. You can find out more about Katrina's business, EARTHeim Landscape Design by visiting her website at eartheim.com

Christine and Ben introduce themselves, the show, and visit their first gardener - John Walker. John tells us about the history of his house, how his gardening style has evolved over the years, and what he hopes to see for the future of his garden.
