Podcasts about garden writers association

On this week's show, your host, Justin Mog, brings you a preview conversation with Dr. Douglas Tallamy who will be the guest speaker at a special event on Friday in collaboration with UofL's Sustainability Council and Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest. Joining the conversation is Bernheim's Director of Education, Kristin Faurest, Ph.D. Doug Tallamy is the T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 106 research publications and has taught insect related courses for 41 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. His book Bringing Nature Home was published by Timber Press in 2007, The Living Landscape, co-authored with Rick Darke, was published in 2014; Nature's Best Hope, a New York Times Best Seller, was released in February 2020, and his latest book The Nature of Oaks was released by Timber press in March 2021. In 2021 he cofounded Homegrown National Park with Michelle Alfandari. His awards include recognition from The Garden Writers Association, Audubon, The National Wildlife Federation, The Garden Club of America and The American Horticultural Association. Dr. Tallamy will be speaking on Nature's Best Hope on Friday, July 22nd, 6-7:30pm, in UofL's Humanities room 100. General public: $25 Bernheim members: $20 University faculty/staff with valid ID: $10 Students with valid ID: free, but must register for the event Purchase tickets at https://bernheim.org/event/natures-best-hope-with-dr-douglas-tallamy/ Presented by Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest in partnership with the UofL's Sustainability Council. Recent headlines about global insect declines and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us. Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Dr. Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can - and must - take to reverse declining biodiversity, why we must change our adversarial relationship with nature to a collaborative one, and why we, ourselves, are nature's best hope. A spread of healthy farm-to-table appetizers from Bernheim's Edible Garden and Isaac's Cafe will be available starting at 5:30pm, and attendees will also have the opportunity to purchase Bernheim memberships.

I've enjoyed having a garden for many years, and recently it's taken on deeper significance in my life. So I loved this conversation with this week's guest Joe Lamp'l, the Joe behind Joe Gardener®, as we discussed the many benefits of gardening. Physical exercise and fresh produce are obvious advantages, and we also explored the mental, emotional, and even spiritual benefits of being in your garden. Topics we touched on included: Gardening as a way to combat perfectionistic tendencies The easy connection and camaraderie among gardeners Seeing gardening “mistakes” as opportunities to learn Applications of a fixed vs. growth mindset Practicing trust and acceptance in the garden Joe’s aha! moment that drew him into gardening Why we have such an emotional connection to food taken directly from the ground Being a steward of the earth The advantages of natural gardening (here's a link to the effects of exposure to the chemical pesticide diazinon, which I experienced as a teen) The role of gardeners in helping our planet to heal Nurturing a relationship with our gardens The therapeutic effects of gardening The layout of Joe’s beautiful garden farm Common mistakes among new gardeners The network of life beneath the soil’s surface Joe shared with me his photo of the first monarch that returned to his garden, which I've posted here. Here's the link to Joe's excellent (and free) Complete Guide to Home Composting where you can also sign up for his newsletter. We discussed a couple episodes of Joe's Growing a Greener World television series: Stone Barns Center & Blue Hill: The Best of Food and Agriculture in which the man had an epiphany simply by pulling a carrot from the ground. Waking Up the Garden Farm™ which chronicles Joe's collaboration with his daughter in developing a tomato seedling operation. Joe Lamp’l (aka joe gardener®) has been hooked on horticulture since childhood. He is one of the country’s most recognized and trusted personalities in gardening and sustainability, with a passion for living a greener life. That passion is evident to a nationwide audience who turns to him for gardening advice through his new joe gardener Online Gardening Academy™ and watches him in his current role as Creator, Executive Producer, and Host of the Emmy-award-winning PBS series, Growing a Greener World® and, previously, as host of Fresh from the Garden on DIY Network (and more).

Listen as Joe shares his passion for gardening, ways we can help improve the environment and why we should care about where our food comes from. Joe Lamp’l’s (aka joe gardener®) infatuation with gardening and nature began as a child. After a run-in with his parents’ favorite shrub, he panicked and jammed the broken branch into the ground. A few weeks later, it had taken root. Joe was not only relieved; he was also hooked on horticulture. As one of the country’s most recognized and trusted personalities in gardening and green-living, Joe’s passion for living a greener life is evident to a nationwide audience who turns to him for gardening advice through his new joe gardener Online Gardening Academy™ and watches him in his current role as Creator, Executive Producer and Host of the Emmy-award-winning PBS series, Growing a Greener World® and, previously, as host of Fresh from the Garden on DIY Network and more.
