Podcasts about horticultural

In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. Tina Marie (Waliczek) Cade to dive into the intriguing world of urban-plant interactions, the effects of greenspace on people, and more. As a Professor of Horticulture at Texas State University, Dr. Cade teaches 12 different courses in horticulture and advises multiple graduate students on research projects. Her interests in this field are broad, as she studies the active engagement of individuals with plants in community, home, or school gardens, as well as the passive interaction with plants in green spaces both outdoors and indoors, including the presence of indoor plants… What can Dr. Cade's more than 20 years of experience tell us about the benefits of people/plant interactions? Can gardening positively affect the overall quality of life in humans? Whether you're a horticulture enthusiast or a casual gardener, you'll find Dr. Cade's insights fascinating. She explains how interacting with plants can improve physical well-being, reduce stress, and deepen our connection to nature – ultimately enriching our lives. Click play to find out:  What horticultural therapy is, and how it impacts different populations of people. The connection between horticultural interactions and emotional well-being.  What “eco anxiety” is, and how it is addressed in student populations.  The ways that green spaces influence economic factors.

TOUCHING THE PAST HORTICULTURAL SOC APRIL 20 2025

Spring is the season when gardeners throw off the hibernation and slumber of months of wet feet, many layers and waterproofs and are reborn anew! The stirring of life in the garden is one of the years great experiences, and makes a gardening life such a worthwhile pursuit, not only is it good for the planet to see the earth greening up, it is also good for the gardeners soul. But there is still lots of hard work to get on with - seeds have to be sown, mulch laid, supports erected and lawns mown. So join Lucy and Saul as they continue their professional gardening lives in the pure heaven that is Spring!Lucy is off for her Easter break, so Saul invites an old friend, fellow Kew graduate and now Head of Horticultural Relations at the Royal Horticultural Society, Emma Allen, to join him in conversation about her teams role at the charity. She has a large remit of very interesting roles which includes Funding Bursaries, in which she wants to encourage a wide range of diverse backgrounds to apply for funding to help realise long held study and networking ambitions. We also chat about the evolution of the charities seven Expert Groups (formerly know as the Plant committees) and the long standing and fruitful relationships with the RHS Partner Gardens, a key benefit of being a member. Useful Links: Bursaries and Funding - Click hereRHS Expert Groups - Click HereTrials and AGMS - Click HereRHS Partner Gardens - Click HerePlant Societies - Click HereInstagram link:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensLinkedIn link:Emma AllenSaul WalkerIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

Unlock the secrets of sustainable agriculture with us as we welcome Dr. Carl Motsenbocker from Louisiana State University. Discover how his work in local foods and sustainable farming is reshaping horticultural education and community connections. We'll guide you through the discussions at the 2024 American Society for Horticultural Science Annual Conference, where we gained insights into the shift from large-scale farming to small-scale  environmentally conscious agricultural practices.As we explore the world of sustainable small-scale farming in Louisiana, Carl shares stories from his experiences teaching vegetable crops and organic gardening. These real-world classes aren't just about growing food; they're a platform for engaging young people in practical, hands-on learning and community projects. The landscape is changing, and new farmers are stepping up with a fresh, environmentally conscious approach, bridging the gap in the local food supply and revitalizing local agriculture.Learn about farm-to-school programs, which are transforming how food is grown, taught, and consumed in schools across Louisiana. From the initial USDA Farm to School Conference grant in 2013 to the comprehensive program we see today, these initiatives are growing food at schools, integrating curricula, and sourcing local produce. By adapting educational resources for dynamic learning methods, we're reaching younger audiences and supporting farm-to-school efforts with the Seeds to Success program, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Engaging with sustainable horticulture is both a responsible and practical way to cultivate plants. In today's day and age, developing skills in gardening is more important than ever – and you'd be shocked by how accessible and interesting this area of expertise really is… In this episode, we sit down with horticulturist Juan Carlos Díaz-Pérez. Juan is a Professor in the Department of Horticulture at the University of Georgia where he does extensive research on vegetable production and physiology. Sustainability is an important facet of Juan's work, and he is uncovering ways to effectively farm vegetables while also taking into account the welfare of our environment. Join us now as Juan discusses: How climate change is impacting agricultural production. The advantages and disadvantages of using plastics in agriculture. How mulch affects plant growth, and why researchers are looking into ways to make mulch more sustainable. You can learn more about Juan Carlos Díaz-Pérez and his research by clicking here!

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. As President and Chief Executive Officer of Longwood Gardens for the last 16 years, Paul has implemented institutional and strategic reforms that have positioned the Gardens as a premier horticultural, cultural, and educational institution of the 21st Century while respecting the values of its founder, Pierre S. du Pont. The result has been nothing short of astounding with overall attendance doubling to almost 1.54 million visitors per year; an incredible climb in membership support from 17,000 to 78,000 households; and earned income has almost tripled – all in the last decade. Longwood Gardens is now North America's most visited paid public garden and the most visited paid cultural attraction in Philadelphia. In their conversation, Abra and Paul explore ideas of leadership, envisioning public gardens for the future, and fearlessness. Enjoy! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud and iTunes.

Kasey's horticultural experience started at a young age on her family's citrus farm in southwestern Arizona.  This family influence helped her discover her passion for flora and fauna and their interactions in our unique desert environment. Her early understanding of growing crops guided Kasey to pursue a degree in Plant Biology at Arizona State University (ASU) with an emphasis in Urban Horticulture studies.  After graduation, Kasey gained experience working in various parts of the landscaping industry, expanding her horticultural and landscaping knowledge.  Her desire to share her passion for plants and to help improve the overall quality of landscaping delivered to property owners led her to found Harmony Horticultural Consulting in 2008, where she has become a trusted industry leader in providing solutions for plant health problems.  Over the last 15 years, Kasey has helped landscapers and homeowners enhance their landscapes' beauty and vitality and has educated them on improved cultural practices such as water management, fertility strategies, and pruning techniques.  Kasey's extensive knowledge and practical experience are invaluable tools to help clients manage their plant health and pest issues and keep their properties attractive and productive. Harmony Horticultural now has three consultants who service the Phoenix metro area.
