Many gardeners are also collectors. Collectors of things like pots, books, seeds, and - of course - plants. Some plant collecting gardeners collect flowers, shrubs, herbs or seeds. Others collect trees – and when writer, artist and curious human Amy Stewart, award winning author of Flower Confidential, Wicked Plants, and The Drunken Botanist, ran into more and more humans who collected trees in various ways – she started to collect stories about them. In her newest book, The Tree Collectors, Tales of Arboreal Obsession (out now from Random House), which she researched, wrote and illustrated, Amy shares much of more about these tree-collecting people, including what they can teach us about trees, and about humanity - from fascinating motivations to moving outcomes.

Early literacy development can seem alien to us secondary teachers, but we can't “leave students' literacy fates up to chance.” That's where explicit vocabulary instruction comes in. Before this episode aired, we heard from an early literacy expert and writer Dr. Amy Stewart on what the “Science of Reading” movement was, and the responsibilities it brings to all teachers, but especially secondary teachers in helping students acquire the vocabulary they need before they can comprehend text. In this upcoming episode, we'll reminisce about our favorite moments and behind the scenes memories. If you haven't listened back yet, we replayed it in our previous episode…So if you're caught up, stay tuned!

 Amy Stewart paints a powerful portrait of the human passion for plants in “The Tree Collectors” with fifty different tales of people who, for one fascinating reason or another, devote their life to trees. The book is illustrated with Amy's vibrant watercolours of the trees and their idiosyncratic owners. Compared in his heyday to Brett Whitely, painter, printmaker, teacher, writer and ornithologist Don Binney (1940–2012) was an artistic icon in New Zealand in the 1960s. His unmistakable, stylised depictions of birds and the Te Henga coastline are imprinted upon the psyche of that nation. Don Binney was a mercurial, eccentric  and often abrasive character whose early brief fame defined his life. In “Don Binney: Flight Path” award-winning author and curator Gregory O'Brien follows the painter from the wild coast of New Zealand through Latin America and Europe, using his letters, journals, and distinctive bird paintings to take us inside Don Binney's world. Guests Amy Stewart, NYT best-selling author of “The Tree Collectors; Tales of arboreal obsession”, “The Drunken Botanist; The Plants that Create the World's Great Drinks” and “Wicked Plants; The Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother & Other Botanical Atrocities”. Greg O'Brien: Wellington-based poet, painter and curator who has written books on art for young people as well as several other books on artists including Ralph Hotere and Pat Hanly, and co-edited several poetry anthologies besides his solo poetry collections.

Ever read The Drunken Botanist by Amy Stewart? I have. Several times, actually. Well, guess what book SHE is reading? “At last,” she writes, “a definitive guide to the medicinal origins of every bottle behind the bar! This is the cocktail book of the year, if not the decade.” What hallowed tome is she referring to? Folks, it's a book so perfect for Peculiar Book Club that if it didn't exist, I'd have to make it up: Doctors and Distillers by Camper English, the MEDICINAL history of beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails. BE STILL MY HEART. It's true that, as a medical historian, I've always known alcohol was among our earliest medicines—and that it remains crucial to not a few today. But this story goes all the way back—to Egypt—and then a bit forward—to alchemists and monastic apothecaries. It takes a side road into germ theory, and then pops back out in forensics and the dangers of risky prohibition cocktails. What was alcohol meant to cure? Let's see; wounds, worms, snakebite, malaria, scurvy, plague… Of course, we at the Peculiar Book Club feel it helps prepare you to read more weird books.

Amy has been a lover of Israel and the Jewish people all her life and longs to see them come to know their true Messiah. She now serves as the worship director of Or HaOlam Messianic Synagogue in Overland Park Kansas.

Vancouver-based artist Amy Stewart has been drawn to the interconnections of art, play and nature since her childhood in 108-Mile House, British Columbia, where she spent most of her time outdoors. That first northern home continues to dominate much of Amy's current artistic world. The memories of childhood and nature shape her adult imagination, and they are reflected in her paintings' rich textures and vibrant tones. Her pieces are often inspired by the feelings that come both from the natural world and from engaging fully in her community and with her loved ones. “I paint how I feel and who I am,” Stewart explains. And that sense of humanity—the private experiences of suffering and celebration—is evoked by her canvases' unique explorations of colour, which range from exuberant bursts of brightness to contemplative reflections on darkness.

Best-selling author Amy Stewart (”Flower Confidential”, “Drunken Botanist”, “Girl Waits with Gun”) talks about her disinclination to pick a lane, the ideas that have helped her navigate a successful writing career, and the role of art in her creative practice. This conversation addresses several dichotomies of the creative life - instant vs delayed gratification, processes vs results, art vs writing, and sticking to a lane vs sticking to one's convictions. It is about understanding how Amy gets so many things done. It is a conversation about many things and then some more - cocktails, 19th century feminism, gardening, poisons, the global flower industry, and people who collect trees. It is an episode about “one and a half things.” Catch all the best ideas in the show notes.

They're creepy and they're kooky. Mysterious and spooky. They're all together ooky. Nope, it's not the Adam's Family, it's the array of wicked plants on today's episode. It's Halloween season so we'll be talking about an assortment of plants that are spiky, darkly pigmented, stinky, or perhaps even the most wicked of all: invasive. But don't think every perennial or tree on this episode is unworthy of a spot in your garden, some are actually quite lovely landscape specimens. Can a plant truly be frightening? Sure it can—just ask Seymour Krelborn. For further reading on wicked plants, check out this book by Amy Stewart.

So this week's episode is different from anything we've ever done for the podcast to date. It's not quite a fully brewed episode, but it's also not one of our lightroasts either.My guest this week is…well, me. Now don't worry, I relinquished my hosting rights to a dear friend, so I promise this won't sound like some experimental one-man-play where I interview myself.  And in fact, it was this same friend who nudged me to give listeners a peek behind the curtain that agreed to stand in as our host. So for this week's episode I hope you'll join me and Amy Stewart for a conversation about some of the larger things I've experienced over the course of 2022, including one of the biggest cases of my career. I can't say these will be a regular occurrence moving forward, but I'll admit it was a little refreshing to hand over the reins. On top of jury-trial-filled year, Amy and I discuss transitioning into different stages of leadership, what juries are expecting in our second digital age, and what the future holds for yours truly.Enjoy the show!

One of the things I've always tried to do on this program is present a variety of viewpoints.  Even when a guest and I have a phenomenal conversation, that doesn't always mean I agree with everything they've said. But I never believe anything is lost by their opinions being in the world, and in the end, it's up to you, the listener, to glean what whatever it is you want to take away.Now, I think it goes without saying that if I were to ever tell a guest something was stupid, or they were flat out wrong, not only would it be awkward, but it would also be considered by pretty much everyone to be a form of bullying. Sadly, this kind of behavior has become more and more prevalent in our culture, and while I think there are a multitude of reasons for this, in this week's episode, my guests and I discuss the very specific intersection of bullying and the law. I sat down with Amy Stewart of the Steward Law Group, James Dolan, a practicing psychotherapist and life coach with 40 years of experience, and our moderator, Scott Stolley, a solo appellate attorney and current member of the Texas Supreme Court Advisory Committee.We take a deep dive into four main areas: bullying by opposing counsel, bullying by clients, bullying by colleagues, and finally, bullying by the judiciary. And while this is a very legal-specific podcast, I think a lot of the strategies and lessons to be learned for anyone.Enjoy the show! 

Whether you're a flower enthusiast home gardener or a commercial cut-flower grower, you know that you want your cut flowers to last as long as possible. In this episode, I cover post-harvest care for cut flowers in lots of different scenarios, and the practices that I recommend if you're selling to florists, at supermarkets, at the farmers' market, or at your farm stand. There are 5 general steps that both commercial growers and home gardeners should strive to follow to maximize vase life: 1. Harvest flowers at the proper stage. Each flower has its own ideal cutting stage. Some flowers continue to develop after you cut them (Sunflowers, Snapdragons), but some don't (Zinnias, Cockscomb). Do not harvest wet flowers. 2. After cutting, allow flowers to rest and rehydrate before arranging. Learn the ideal temperature for resting (conditioning) each type of flower. 3. Treatments can be added to the water that freshly-cut flowers are conditioned in to improve water uptake, hold color, and improve vase life. 4. Harvest buckets and vases should be washed and sanitized between uses, otherwise bacteria grows in them that will diminish flower vase life. My saying is that if you wouldn't be willing to drink out of your harvest buckets and vases then they're not clean enough! 5. Harvest at the ideal time of day (when flowers are more hydrated) to prevent wilting problems - typically early morning after the dew dries.
