Real or fake? The million-dollar question, right (um, we're talking about grass, people…grass!)? Synthetic grass may look uniform and appear to be maintenance-free, but environmental and health concerns are prompting many people to rip out their artificial lawns. You've heard of microplastics showing up at alarming rates in our drinking water, our food, and more. But you've probably never considered that that picture-perfect green artificial grass that you and your family love to play on could be hazardous to your health! Turns out, artificial grass can release microplastics and forever chemicals known as PFAS, so it's no surprise that many people now think of their artificial lawns as hazmat sites, and they are ripping them out.  Our guest, Dani North is a Horticulturalist and Turfgrass Professional at WEST COAST TURF specializing in Kurapia drought-tolerant ground cover sod and turfgrass management. With degrees in Horticultural Science, Sports Turf Management, and Integrated Pest Management, it is a personal goal of Dani's to assist others in achieving a successful and aesthetically pleasing outdoor landscape or playing surface.

The term literally translates to "love of life and you'll love this conversation! Plant lover or not, we are finding more and more that humans feel the need to be connected whether through colors in their home or natural elements in their spaces. If you're listening to this podcast, you probably know how a connection with plants can improve your wellbeing, but we discuss why that connection is so vital to all, not just plant lovers. Heather is a horticulturist and lifelong learner and we can all learn a lot from her in this episode!Heather Wheatley on InstagramLove what you're hearing?

 Photo: Kathleen O'Grady (L) Faith Imaafiion (R) Theatre of Note's production of Fruition 2019A lifelong actor, Kathleen O'Grady's earliest memory of her life's work finds her riding with her siblings around Los Angeles, in the back of her mother's car—driving to the next audition. Growing up in the town of Reseda -  named for the mignonette a fragrant plant found in the gardens of the San Fernando Valley - her parents moved north to the Bay area where team soccer and volleyball replaced limited theatrical opportunity.Chicago's robust theater community called this aspiring performer to enroll in DePaul's Theater School, formerly The Goodman School, where she studied under legendary thespian mentors Dr. Bella Itkin, and Joe Slovick. After graduation Kathleen catapulted from commercials, created her own theater company, and performed with Steppenwolf, the theater company which launched the careers of Joan Allen, John Malkovich, Laurie Metcalf, and Martha Plimpton. Inspired by love, a move to New York found Kathleen exploring every aspect of her craft from guest starring roles in Murder in the First, Law & Order,  Off Broadway productions, and more commercials. A pivot arrived while finding a natural proclivity for landscape design while working in her garden.  Following a new passion, she studied landscape design and horticulture at Columbia University, where she earned her master's degree.  Kathleen follows sister passions of acting, producing, landscape design integrating native plants, beneficial insects, soil regeneration, restorative permaculture, and land stewardship. This master artist and designer can be found at Theatre of Note, and Gregory Davis & Associates Landscape Design.

Something that gets a lot of buzz, and a lot of discussion today, is the concept of getting off the grid, away from civilization, and homesteading.

Can you name a garden dweller who is ecologically obsessed, a little punk rock, and creates spaces for plants, pollinators and people in equal measure? Why that would be the next guest on the Garden People podcast, Rebecca McMackin! Link to listen in the bio or find us wherever you catch your podcasts. Rebecca @oroeoboeococoao is an ecological gardener, a Loeb Fellow with the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and former Director of Horticulture for Brooklyn Bridge Park (BBP) in New York. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology. In these spheres, she brings an infectious enthusiasm alongside an abiding commitment to ecological vitality and urban biodiversity. As part of NYC Parks Rebecca was the head gardener at historic Washington Square Park, where she deftly maintained displays and occasionally was called on to coax a reveler down from an English Elm. At BBP, Rebecca managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically, creating a habitat that was welcoming to New Yorkers, birds, butterflies, and soil microorganisms. She migrated to Cambridge after being awarded the Loeb Fellowship, where she currently studies ecological design and science communication.Rebecca understands plants and their pollinators, but she also understands people and how we can best invite them into the garden. This is helped by her exceptional ability to synthesis and share important information about our world. Her newsletter is an indispensable part of my learning, a go-to for a roundup of important articles and ideas, all framed by her optimism, humor, and seriousness of purpose. This interview was recorded in the last weeks of her Directorship at BBP, and it was a pleasure to speak with her at this time of transition.Thank you for listening!S H O W N O T E SRebecca's IG @oroeoboeococoaoRebecca's website Rebecca's newsletterDouglas Tallamy Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Inc Margaret Roach lawn article National Audubon SocietyXerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center - Wildflower.org US EPA Ecoregions Robin Wall Kimmerer Brooklyn Bridge Park Horticulture database

Welcome back to this weeks exciting episode of the Mic the Gardener – Gardening Podcast. I've always been passionate about looking to the future of gardening and horticulture, and in particular thinking about where the next generation of young gardeners will come from. In today's episode I chat to Victoria who is the Chair and the national organiser of the Young Horticulturist of the Year competition.  Now as the title of the competition clearly tells us, this is a competition to find the best young horticulturist. What are the most reassuring things that comes out of our chat is that there can be up to 2000 entrants into this competition, so there is young gardening and horticultural talent out there for sure. Victoria tells me all about the competition, including: How it came about What's involved in the process Who can enter How to enter What's the winner of the competition receives Key dates, and lots, lots more. It's truly a fascinating episode, and, if you know of anybody who is eligible to enter the Young Horticulturist of the Year competition, do point them in the direction of this podcast and the Young Horticulturalist of the Year website. How refreshing and reassuring to know that the hands of our gardens, horticulture in general and indeed our pallet is in safe hands.

#035 - Horticulturalist and founder of The Real Flower Company Rosebie Morton shares her small business journey. Her driving ambition is to supply people all around the UK with scented flowers.  And she now sells both to trade and consumers. With her mother and grandmother both being horticulturally-minded, Rosebie's love and enthusiasm for scented flowers began at a very early age. Aged four years old, she remembers the scent of roses when walking around her grandmother's garden. Many years later, she married a farmer and decided that she wanted to bring scented garden roses back to the cut flower industry. So she started growing six different varieties in her mother-in-law's walled garden. In 1995, she began selling the roses at New Covent Garden Flower Market. Then after 12 months, switched and sold direct to florists. And she also started growing other types of flowers and herbs. Due to the limited UK growing season and her desire to make roses available all year round, she investigated growing flowers in the Southern Hemisphere. And in 1998, she travelled to Kenya and planted hundreds of rose plants. Back in the UK, four years later, she started growing her roses in polytunnels to protect them from the rain. In 2003, she began selling direct to consumers via the internet. And now, as well as online, The Real Flower Company sells to consumers from their two London flower shops, offering same-day delivery in the capital. Rosebie discusses the impact of the pandemic, the importance of effective branding and how she uses social media to promote her business. She also shares her 'why' and her thoughts on sustainability. Listening to this episode, you'll hear how passionate Rosebie is about the flower industry and scented roses in particular. At the end of the podcast, you'll discover her practical tips, which I'm sure you'll find very inspiring. Show notes are available on the My Small Business & Me website: https://mysmallbusinessandme.com/episode35
