Podcasts about Landscape design

Landscape designer Steve Griggs joins Frank Schaeffer for a raw, funny, deeply human conversation about rising from a working-class New York childhood to becoming one of America's premier landscape artists — featured in Forbes, WSJ, HuffPost and Bravo's Backyard Envy.Steve reveals the truth about designing for the ultra-wealthy, why taste beats money every time, how stonework builds character, what 40 years in the dirt taught him, and why water + fire belong in every garden — from mega-estates to tiny balconies.Frank and Steve go deep on class, beauty, craftsmanship, fathers, work ethic, climate, art, and the joy of creating a space people never want to leave._____LINKSCheck out Steve's stunning book Straight DirtFollow Steve on Instagram @SteveGriggsDesignVisit Steve Griggs Design Online_____I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

Jesse chats to Forest and Bird Chief Executive about this week's critter. Huberia striata belongs to the only fully New Zealand endemic genus of ant. Widespread throughout Aotearoa, they nest underground in native bush. Like other ant species, they are known to farm plant hoppers and scale insects by keeping them safe in their nest and then milking them for their sweet honeydew secretions. Their name comes from the fact that their body is covered in long thin lines (striations), making them look wrinkly!

It's frustrating when you put your trust—and a chunk of your budget—into a landscaper, only to end up with something that looks nothing like what was promised. You imagine a peaceful, beautiful space to relax in, but instead you're left chasing updates, fixing mistakes, and staring at half-finished work. There's a big difference between a yard and a space that actually feels like yours. And when that vision falls flat, it's hard not to feel like you settled for less. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVy7F6WXooo Steve Griggs is a veteran landscape designer known for crafting luxury outdoor spaces for high-profile clients.

In this episode, Kate Brittenham—an ecological landscape designer—chats with Tim and Jean about how native plant gardens can be both beautiful and practical. These kinds of landscapes do more than just look good—they support local biodiversity and give homeowners a sustainable alternative to the typical lawn. Kate grew up surrounded by native plants at Flying Trillium Gardens and Preserve, a special place in the southern Catskills created by her mother, Carolyn Summers. She shares how her design approach has shifted over time: from having to educate clients about the benefits of native plants to now working with folks who are already excited about creating ecological gardens. Kate also talks about how to strike the right balance between habitat and curb appeal, especially in suburban neighborhoods or places with HOA rules. Kate also talks about how things have really changed in recent years—more people are paying attention to pollinators, invasive plants, along with an increasing awareness of the downsides of keeping a traditional lawn. Since the pandemic, she's seen a real shift in what clients are asking for, and it's changed how she approaches her work. She shares practical advice for anyone looking to make their yard more habitat-friendly, from choosing the right native plants to dealing with invasives and designing with the local environment in mind. The conversation also dives into the updated edition of Designing Gardens with Flora of the American East, the book she co-wrote with her mom, Carolyn Summers. Kate brings a great mix of honesty, plant knowledge, and optimism to the conversation—something gardeners of all experience levels will really enjoy. So if you're thinking about ditching some of your lawn or just want to learn more about plants that support pollinators, listen in as Kate Brittenham shares smart, approachable advice to help you take that first step!

In this episode, I'm speaking with Mary Reynolds—renowned landscape designer, author, and founder of the rewilding movement We Are The Ark. This episode originally aired in 2019 and it's particularly pertinent as it coincides with the start of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, where Mary, won a gold medal winner for her ground-breaking, naturalistic garden which at the time was a revelation. Mary has long championed a shift from traditional gardening to a more nature-centric approach. Her initiative, We Are The Ark, invites gardeners, landowners, and stewards to rewild areas under their care, transforming them into sanctuaries for biodiversity. This conversation delves into Mary's journey, the philosophy behind We Are The Ark, and practical steps we can all take to support nature in our own spaces. As we face increasing environmental challenges, Mary's insights offer a timely reminder of the power each of us holds to make a difference.

Michael Wara is a lawyer and an expert in wildfire policy who says that solutions are out there, but face financial, political, and cultural resistance. What's needed, he says, are “whole-of-society” approaches that raise wildfire risk to the community level. In this regard, the devastation in Los Angeles in 2025 could provide the spark needed for smarter communication, better policies, and renewed urgency on wildfires, Wara tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Transcript:Hu: Budapest téli csendjében pihen a Botanika Kert.En: In the winter silence of Budapest, the Botanika Kert rests.Hu: A fák ágai csupaszak, néhányan dérrel fedettek, és a hó finoman hintázik az ösvényeken.En: The branches of the trees are bare, some covered with frost, and the snow gently sways on the paths.Hu: A levegő harapós, de üdítő.En: The air is biting, yet refreshing.Hu: Zoltán, a tapasztalt kertész, mély sóhajjal nézi a tájat.En: Zoltán, the experienced gardener, looks at the landscape with a deep sigh.Hu: Szívében furcsa harc dúl, mert szeretett kertje hamarosan változni fog.En: A strange battle rages in his heart because his beloved garden will soon change.Hu: Az új projekt túl sok újat akar bevezetni.En: The new project wants to introduce too many new elements.Hu: Réka, a lelkes tájépítész, épp ilyennel érkezett.En: Réka, the enthusiastic landscape architect, arrived just for this reason.Hu: Réka mosolyogva siet Zoltánhoz.En: Réka hurries to Zoltán with a smile.Hu: Szereti a kihívásokat, és a kert átalakítása izgatja.En: She loves challenges, and the transformation of the garden excites her.Hu: De Zoltán hűvös tekintete mindig kihívás neki.En: But Zoltán's cool gaze is always a challenge for her.Hu: Réka frissíteni akarja a kertet, modern ötletek villannak az elméjében.En: Réka wants to refresh the garden, modern ideas flashing in her mind.Hu: Zoltán viszont aggódik.En: Zoltán, however, is worried.Hu: Számára a változások túlságosan radikálisak.En: For him, the changes are too radical.Hu: Ahogy elindulnak, hogy megbeszéljék a projektet, a kettő között feszültség vibrál.En: As they set out to discuss the project, tension vibrates between them.Hu: Réka megszólal: "Zoltán, szerintem a japán kert új elemeket igényelne.En: Réka speaks up: "Zoltán, I think the japán kert could use new elements.Hu: Nézd, milyen szépen beilleszthetők a modern dizájnba.En: Look how beautifully they can integrate into the modern design."Hu: "Zoltán homlokát ráncolja.En: Zoltán furrows his brow.Hu: "Réka, a japán kert a hagyományaink része.En: "Réka, the japán kert is part of our traditions.Hu: Az új elemek elvehetik a varázsát.En: The new elements might take away its charm."Hu: "A vita egyre élesebb, hangjuk elvegyül a hideg levegőben.En: The debate becomes sharper, their voices mingling in the cold air.Hu: Mindketten kitartanak a saját térfelükön.En: Both stick to their own side.Hu: Zoltán nem akar engedni.En: Zoltán doesn't want to give in.Hu: A kert megőrzése a vérében van.En: Preserving the garden is in his blood.Hu: Réka pedig nem érti, miért ragaszkodik ennyire a régihez.En: Réka doesn't understand why he clings so tightly to the old.Hu: Ahogy a megbeszélés elnyúlik, Réka és Zoltán lassan átélik egymás érvelését.En: As the discussion drags on, Réka and Zoltán slowly begin to appreciate each other's arguments.Hu: Rájönnek, mindketten szeretnék, ha a kert a legjobb lenne.En: They realize they both want the best for the garden.Hu: Egy ponton Zoltán hirtelen megáll, és mélyen Réka szemébe néz.En: At one point, Zoltán suddenly stops and looks deeply into Réka's eyes.Hu: "Réka," mondja, "mi lenne, ha a tradíciókat és az újdonságokat összefonva hoznánk létre valami igazán különlegeset?En: "Réka," he says, "what if we combined traditions and innovations to create something truly special?"Hu: "Réka elgondolkodik.En: Réka thinks it over.Hu: "Talán megtalálhatnánk a középutat.En: "Perhaps we could find a middle ground.Hu: Engem érdekelnének a te javaslataid is.En: I would be interested in your suggestions too."Hu: "Ez a pillanat mindkettőjük számára megkönnyebbülés.En: This moment is a relief for both of them.Hu: A vita hirtelen megenyhül.En: The argument suddenly softens.Hu: Egyensúlyba hozzák ötleteiket.En: They balance their ideas.Hu: Zoltán beleegyezik, hogy néhány új elemet adott pontokon próbálkozzanak ki, míg Réka tiszteletben tartja a hagyományos részek megtartását.En: Zoltán agrees to try a few new elements in certain areas, while Réka respects keeping the traditional parts.Hu: Ahogy újból elindulnak a kertben, együtt dolgozni kezdenek, mindketten mosollyal az arcukon.En: As they set out again in the garden, they begin working together, both with smiles on their faces.Hu: A kert projektje elkezdődik.En: The garden project begins.Hu: A hagyomány és a modernitás találkozása sikeresen megvalósul.En: The meeting of tradition and modernity is successfully realized.Hu: A friss hó alatt rejtőző magokként közös munkájuk is növekedhet, és mindketten tudják, hogy a tavasz új életet hoz majd a kertbe, úgy, ahogy ők is új perspektívával tekintenek a jövőre.En: Like seeds hidden under the fresh snow, their joint work can also grow, and they both know that spring will bring new life to the garden, just as they look to the future with a new perspective.
