Podcasts about Edible plants

Master Gardeners Emily Clem and Kathy Cook give a tour of The Library Garden. Designed by landscape architect, Carol Lambdin, the garden  includes raised beds, a butterfly garden, a wet area, and shaded sections. Now three years old, the garden is full of native trees, plants and edibles, and visitors are encouraged to take home berries and veggies in season. In addition, the garden has become a great home for insects and a few resident birds. Kids of all ages enjoy the grassy area, bubble rock fountains and winding footpaths. Volunteers are always welcome to help maintain the garden. Links:https://mastergardeners-limestonecountyalabama.org/https://www.aces.edu/  (Alabama Cooperative Extension)https://www.alcpl.org/Have questions about this episode?

Shade-Tolerant Edible Plants for Your Garden| Episode 344 Gardening in shaded areas might seem like a challenge, but it's entirely possible to grow a thriving garden with the right plants. Whether your yard has dappled sunlight or full shade, there are plenty of options for edible plants that don't mind a little less light. In Episode 344, we explore a dozen shade-tolerant crops to get your garden started. Why Grow Shade-Tolerant Plants? Many homesteaders and gardeners face the dilemma of limited sunlight due to trees, buildings, or small spaces. Choosing shade-tolerant crops means you can still produce food and maximize your available growing areas. Plus, shaded gardens often require less watering and experience fewer weeds. 12 Edible Plants Perfect for Shade Leafy Greens Spinach: Thrives in partial shade and cooler conditions, producing tender, nutrient-packed leaves. Kale: A hardy crop that grows well in low light and even tolerates frost. Lettuce: Perfect for shaded spots, as it prevents bolting and extends your harvest season. Collard Greens: Provides robust, hearty leaves that grow beautifully in partial shade. Root Vegetables Radishes: Quick-growing and shade-friendly, ideal for fresh snacking or pickling. Carrots: Sweeter roots develop in partial shade, as long as soil remains loose and rich. Turnips: Produces both edible roots and greens, making it a versatile garden addition. Herbs Parsley, cilantro, mint, and chives thrive in shady areas while adding fresh flavors and medicinal benefits to your meals. Other Crops Peas: Cool-season crop that prefers shade to avoid overheating. Elderberries: A fruiting shrub that thrives in partial shade and provides berries for syrups and jams. Mushrooms: Perfect for full-shade areas like basements or wooded spaces. Start Your Shade Garden Today With so many options, gardening in shaded areas doesn't have to limit your harvest. Pick a few of these crops, experiment with your space, and watch your shady garden flourish. Would you like to know more about growing these plants or planning your shade garden?

Since time began humans have been foragers. Survival depended on connecting to the natural world. Today, when most of our food comes from a grocery store or is eaten in a restaurant, that link has been lost. But not for Tim Clemens. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Tim, a professional forager and founder of Ironwood Foraging about how he's helping people connect with nature; and not in the middle of the forest or farm country, but near his urban home of Minneapolis.Key Takeaways:  Foraging is not limited to rural or wilderness areas—urban environments, like the parks and green spaces in Minneapolis, offer surprising edible treasures. Learning to identify wild edibles is key to safe foraging, and local foraging groups or societies can be invaluable resources for beginners. Tim emphasizes the importance of indigenous traditions and thinking long-term, such as planting trees for future generations, in the practice of foraging. Foraging creates a deeper connection to the natural world, making people more mindful stewards of the environment by seeing it not just as scenery, but as a source of sustenance. Foraging is becoming increasingly popular, moving beyond farm-to-table into forest-to-table, and gaining recognition in both local communities and top-tier restaurants.Notable Quotes: "Foraging has gotten so much more popular, and just like the farm-to-table movement, the next iteration of that is the forest-to-table movement or the prairie-to-table movement." "You need to identify the species you're trying to eat before you eat it. You really should identify something first because there are things that can hurt you." "When you're foraging, suddenly it's your blueberry patch... it's not just a backdrop for human activity anymore. You're going to be attached to individual trees...and you're just going to be a better naturalist for that." "For most of the year, I don't buy rice because I harvest my own. There are things I never buy anymore. I don't buy fruit, I don't buy greens, I don't buy mushrooms, and I don't buy nuts." "We have folks who have backgrounds in biology like myself and folks who have backgrounds in graphic design. There's room for all those people and a need for all those people because we need people to balance our budgets, fix our computers, design our graphics."Resources: Ironwood Foraging Website: https://ironwoodforaging.com/  Minnesota Mycological Society: https://minnesotamycologicalsociety.org/  National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation: https://www.nplsf.org/ Be sure to tune in to this insightful episode of the Lake Superior Podcast to learn more about the art of foraging and how you can reconnect with the environment through this ancient practice. Connect With Us:Website: https://www.nplsf.org/lake-superior-podcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundation/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-parks-of-lake-superior-foundation/  

After forty years and a million trees and shrubs planted, a dedicated parks superviser has retired from the job, leaving Nelson a veritable feast of flora, literally. Peter Grundy has quietly transformed the regions parks and reserves with natives and pickable plants, meaning people can graze from apple, nut and even carob trees. If you do the maths he's supervised the planting of about 25,000 trees a year or 68 a day, he spoke to Lisa Owen.

An urban park in the heart of Berlin might not seem like an ideal place to forage for hidden food treasures. But it's actually blessed with richer biodiversity than the sprawling countryside that wraps around it. And, if you lean in close enough, you'll find an astonishing diversity of plants to nourish, heal and soothe - and you might even untap some old wisdom within yourself along the way.

Kylemore Abbey in County Galway is an iconic image of Ireland. Built originally as a private home in the 19th century, it later became a Benedictine monastery, and today it attracts half a million visitors annually.

Spring in Madison is a great time to find delicious food right in your backyard. And foraging for delectable local morsels means hunting much more than mushrooms. There's ramps, watercress, dozens of edible weeds… all around you.  But how do you know where to look? And what's edible… and tasty?  Dylan Brogan sits down with Andy Gricevich, owner of What Got Gathered, for some local foraging pro tips. You can find Andy at the Westside Community Market, Monona Farmers Market and the Madison Eastside Farmers Market. Check out his website for details on the wild food walks.

“We all have ancestors who lived really close to nature, who found their food in the wild. This is our birthright and I get really excited when I can lead people back to that heritage.” -Tim MacWelch, Advanced Survival TrainingOnce used by our ancestors as a means of survival, foraging for wild edible plants is surging in popularity among outdoor enthusiasts. Whether it's to collect food, maintain a healthy lifestyle, learn about native plants, or just spend more time outside, foraging is a way to connect with the landscape and carry on a tradition that dates to the beginning of human existence. Tim MacWelch, owner of Advanced Survival Training, covers the basics of foraging, including how to safely identify plants, examples of common wild edibles, where and when to forage, conservation techniques, and precautions to take before consuming your finds. You'll want to have your notepad ready because this episode is chock-full of information to get you started in the world of foraging. Let's Go!

This is the 4th episode in a 5-part series on the Belong to You Habits and today we are talking about Eating to Thrive. If you missed the previous episodes in this series, I invite you to go back and start with Episode 41. The habits build on each other, and as such, it can be helpful to see them in relationship with the other habits. Eating to Thrive is simple, but not easy. We live in a culture that demonizes food, fosters a sense of confusion, shame, and disconnection from our bodies and ourselves, and then preys on that vulnerability by offering diets as a solution to our problems. Eating is necessary for survival and yet it's rife with politics, privilege, and cultural norms that complicate this basic need. We've been stripped of our connection with the land, with nature, with our ancestor's wisdom, with our cultural practices that center around food as celebration and reduced it to something we engage with out of obligation or fear. Based on our traumatic histories and the current culture, I know talking about food and eating habits is like walking into a minefield. And yet, I have experienced how powerful it can be to listen to authors and leaders who are speaking about food and politics, body positivity, body acceptance, and real solutions for feeding everyone. Food is fuel. It's also nourishment. It's sensual. It's ritual. You are sacred. Eating to Thrive can be a powerful way to honor your divinity, your inner connectivity with the earth, and with all beings. Thank you for listening and as always, I welcome your feedback and questions! RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Belong to You Habits Program 1:1 Coaching with Lael Book Study and Retreat!

A wellness practice that has been a life-changer for me is releasing caffeine from my life. Five years ago I was introduced to a product that started my journey of giving up coffee. If you're thinking - “I could never!” trust me I was just like you. I finally fully gave up coffee because of this product - Dandy Blend, a roasted plant beverage that actually tastes as good as coffee. On today's episode, I'm introducing you to the women behind the brand. Karin Reale, the CFO of Dandy Blend, and Gina Reale the CMO of Dandy Blend, with their family, have carried on the legacy of Karin's father, Dr. Peter Gail. Dubbed the “King of Dandelions,” botanist and Dandy Blend Founder Dr. Peter Gail devoted his life's work to the study of wild plants – particularly the dandelion. From teaching others how to safely consume freshly foraged weeds, herbs, and roots to using them for medicinal and healing properties, Dr. Gail amassed one of the largest collections of recipes and folklore for wild edible plants in the U.S. His passion for educating others was evident in the various books he published as well as his 16-year tenure as a professor at Cleveland State University. Today this mother and daughter team, in partnership with Dr. Gail's son-in-law and grandson, carries on the business in his honor – they continue to share Peace + Happiness with others through his legacy, a sentiment Dr. Gail held dear. In the episode we discuss: * The background of the brand * What it was like growing up in an environment that honors foraging wild plants * Stories from customers about how plants have changed their health * Health benefits of dandelion  * Favorite ways to incorporate wild plants into your diet * Lessons passed down from Dr. Gail Find and follow Dandy Blend at @dandyblend Resource:  Book mentioned in this episode: Raise Your Vibration: 111 Practices to Increase Your Spiritual Connection by Kyle Gray, Life As A Daymaker: How To Change The World By Making Someone's Day by David Wagner, The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo Upcoming events to know about: Join my upcoming workshops and courses, all of which are available on my events page.
