Podcast appearances and mentions of leslie bennett

In celebration of Black History Month and looking forward to Women's History Month - this week we're so pleased to air another of our CP LIVE: Dialogues to Grow By conversations, recorded live in front of an audience on the home ground of the Cultivators of Place with whom we are speaking.  This week's CP LIVE recording focuses on the paradigm-shifting landscape work of Leslie Bennett, who is dedicated to beautifully designed, edible-plant-rich, culturally rooted gardens for all people AND centering Black Women in the American Landscape. It's a great pairing. The interview and gathering for it took place on an unexpectedly chilly evening in late September 2024. Still, the spirited audience of 80+ people - in full celebratory finery - was not bothered at all. And the event was also an occasion for the first public unveiling of photographic portraits by Rachel Weil of the first eight women beneficiaries of a Black Sanctuary Garden. The portraits are taken of each woman in their gardens - embodying, as Leslie described it, their full and authentic joy and liberation. The whole evening unfolded in the heart of elegant, fruit, flower filled terraced backyard garden - one of the black sanctuary gardens to date. This conversation and all it was trying to express and hold space for was richly integrated with community, with an event specific shared music playlist, with laughter and food. Cultivating Place live is a special project of CP in the form of a limited series of CP interviews done with a curated group of gardeners across the US and recorded as audio and film (by the talented filmmaker Myriam Nicodemus of EM EN) throughout 2024 and 2025. These interviews are conducted in front of an audience of the gardeners' community in order to support and recognize these gardeners' accomplishments and contributions to the greater good as a result of their human impulse to Garden. These recorded CP Live experiences will be compiled into a film documentary rolling out in 2026/2027.  The mandate for me in these experiences and interviews is to not only give voice to (as the podcast always does), but actually make visible the many diverse connections animated by the gardening impulse everywhere. What this conversation makes visible to me, and I hope to all listeners, is that gardens are food, beauty, health, and divinity. Gardens are land use. Gardens are community centers, gardens are one form of public policy made manifest by the people. Gardens are authentic joy and liberation. Enjoy!

Você deve ensinar o que está de acordo com a sã doutrina. E aqui está como as mulheres devem colocar isso em prática - como devem descobrir isso - como devem viver a sã doutrina em diferentes fases da vida." Então, é claro, há o ministério da Palavra vindo da equipe pastoral, a pregação da Palavra - não há substituto para isso. O ministério de mulheres na igreja local não o substitui. Mas é o que é pregado se aplicando à vida cotidiana. Falamos sobre relacionamentos de mentoria, relacionamentos de discipulado, relacionamentos de encorajamento. Mas hoje quero abordar um pouco mais amplamente no contexto da igreja local. Como podemos aplicar esse conceito? Por que é tão importante? Chamei uma amiga mútua para se juntar a nós nesta conversa hoje. Leslie Bennett é nossa amiga há muitos anos. Você ouvirá a voz dela em um momento.  Ela serviu como líder do ministério de mulheres, diretora, em sua igreja local por muitos anos em Columbia, Carolina do Sul.

During the 2024 Oncology Nursing Society Congress, CancerNetwork® spoke with multiple registered nurses about research they presented on safely administering treatment options such as CAR T-cell therapy and bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) therapy in patients with multiple myeloma and other malignancies. Ishmael Applewhite, BSN, RN-BC, OCN, a registered nurse at the University of Rochester Medical Center, highlighted the management of adverse effects including peripheral neuropathy in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing treatment with ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel; Carvykti). He discussed these treatment strategies in the context of a presentation he gave on findings from the phase 3 CARDITUDE-4 trial (NCT04181827), in which investigators assessed treatment with cilta-cel in those who were refractory to lenalidomide (Revlimid).1 According to Applewhite, cilta-cel may offer “another path” aside from standard treatment options such as chemotherapy and give “more time” to patients with multiple myeloma. Additionally, Leslie Bennett, MSN, RN, a nurse coordinator at Stanford Healthcare, highlighted the importance of identifying and mitigating cranial nerve palsy (CNP) in patients with multiple myeloma who are treated with cilta-cel. At the conference, Bennett presented data on CNP outcomes across various studies, which included the phase 1/2 CARTITUDE-1 trial (NCT03548207), phase 2 CARTITUDE-2 trial (NCT04133636), and phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 trial (NCT04181827).2 According to findings from this presentation, patients had CNP onset at a median of approximately 3 weeks after beginning treatment with cilta-cel. Most cases of CNP tended to occur in male patients. Kathy Mooney, MSN, RN, ACNS-BC, BMTCN®, OCN®,clinical program director at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Health System, spoke about a study designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of using BiTE therapy to treat those with cancer in an outpatient setting.3 Mooney emphasized multidisciplinary collaboration among nurses, pharmacy providers, and social workers as part of monitoring patients for toxicity as they undergo treatment with BiTE agents.

We’ll hear some words from an English garden designer about making the most of October and November. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book about incorporating edibles into your garden design - and yes, it does matter which varieties you choose to use.

As a small girl, her family home backed up to property owned by the Earl of Derby. Frances remembered it as the “garden of Eden.” Frances’s father died when she was three years old, and his death forced her mother Eliza to leave England with her five young children and immigrate to the United States. After settling in Tennessee, Frances began writing to help her mother make ends meet. Frances published over 50 works during her lifetime, including her popular children’s novels Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden. Although Frances became America’s highest-paid woman writer, her personal life had profound low points. She married and divorced twice, and Frances lost one of her two sons to tuberculosis when he was just 16 years old. After losing her boy Lionel, she covered his caskets in the flower that symbolizes innocence, modesty, and everlasting love: violets. For Frances, whether in America or England, gardens were a place for comfort and restoration, and violets were “her flower.” It was Frances Hodgson Burnett who wrote, “If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” and “Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden — in all the places.”   November 24, 1859  On this day, Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species reached bookstores. Over twenty years had passed since Charles departed on the HMS Beagle for a five-year voyage around the world. On this revelatory trip, Charles discovered the building blocks to his evolutionary theory in the fossils and diverse species he encountered on his expeditions. Often, Charles Darwin is depicted as an older man on the Beagle; but he was just 22 when he sailed away and still a young 27 when he returned to England with boxes full of specimens and a brain swirling with new ideas. Darwin was 50 when his book began selling in bookstores on this day in 1859.   November 24, 1966 On this day, the Arlington Heights Garden Club shared their Garden tips for the week in the Arlington Heights Herald. Highlights include: Soil is alive—teeming with life—tiny insects you can see, and billions of organisms not visible with the naked eye. If cared for properly, it grows and increases in value. (This advice was 40 years before Teaming with Microbes by Jeff Lowenfels) Drooping (cut) roses can be revived by making a fresh cut 2 or 3 inches from the bottom of the stem, then placing in a tall container of very warm water until they perk up. Suggested Houseplant: Shrimp Plant (Beloperone guttata or Justicia Brandegeana), a sturdy plant with shrimp-pink bracts overshadowing the delicate white flowers. (A native of Mexico, these plants can grow up to six feet tall. As houseplants, it is good to prune them back in the spring because the stems are brittle and tend to snap.) Smooth leaf house plants benefit from a soap and water sponge bath on both sides of the leaf surface.   Unearthed Words If it is true that one of the greatest pleasures of gardening lies in looking forward, then the planning of next year's beds and borders must be one of the most agreeable occupations in the gardener's calendar. This should make October and November particularly pleasant months, for then we may begin to clear our borders, to cut down those sodden and untidy stalks, to dig up and increase our plants, and to move them to other positions where they will show up to greater effect. People who are not gardeners always say that the bare beds of winter are uninteresting; gardeners know better and take even a certain pleasure in the neatness of the newly dug, bare, brown earth. — Vita Sackville West, English author, and garden designer     Grow That Garden Library The Beautiful Edible Garden by Leslie Bennett and Stefani Bittner This book came out in 2013, and the subtitle is Design a Stylish Outdoor Space Using Vegetables, Fruits, and Herbs. This book was one of Amazon's Best Garden Books of 2013. Leslie and Stefani are the founders of the landscape design firm Star Apple Edible & Fine Gardening in the San Francisco Bay Area. This book was their stylish and beautifully-photographed guide to artfully incorporating edibles into an attractive modern garden design. This modern landscape design duo specializes in artfully blending edibles and ornamentals together. One of my favorite aspects of the book is that Leslie and Stefani also show how to make edible arrangements with clippings from your garden. The team at Star Apple has refined the way they look at edibles in the Landscape, and - no surprise - they focus on beautiful, luxuriant foliage -- and flowers!  If your vegetable garden looks wild and straggly or just stresses you out by the end of the season, use Leslie and Stefani’s ideas to make your edible plants as beautiful as they are productive. This book is 220 pages of garden design for veggies, fruits, and herbs  - with oodles of ideas for making edibles an attractive part of your Landscape. You can get a copy of The Beautiful Edible Garden by Leslie Bennett and Stefani Bittner and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $10   Today’s Botanic Spark Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart The New England Farmer shared a little post of miscellaneous news at the end of 1843 that caught my eye: Mosquitoes in November. The New Orleans Diamond, of Nov. 24th, says, "As we write, myriads of mosquitoes are hovering around us, like evil messengers. Think of that, ye frozen dwellers at the North." According to the Journal of Commerce, potatoes are now selling, in New York, for seventy-five cents a bushel. A beautiful Oriental proverb runs thus: "With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin." (A little reference to the silkworm’s only food: the mulberry leaf.)   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

You know summer is the time of bounty, when farmers and gardeners are pulling the most from their fields and gardens. But, what should you prioritize when you head to the market, to the farmers market, to the grocery store, or even your own backyard, this summer. That's the question we'll dive into on today's grow yourself podcast.   Today's podcast is brought to you by a very important initiative called Black Sanctuary Gardens, Black Sanctuary Gardens is a project started by my friend; a leader in the edible landscape design field, Leslie Bennett. Leslie Bennett's book, “The Beautiful Edible Garden,” is one of the first books I ever read that taught me all about edible gardening. Her work in Oakland, California, through her business Pine House Edible Gardens is stunning.   I highlighted her previously on my Instagram page a couple of times and did it in light of the George Floyd, killing and all of the anti-racism work that we're all trying to do. Leslie has created a beautiful and amazing project called Black Sanctuary Gardens, in her hometown of Oakland, California. I want to help raise money for her efforts. Give to Black Sanctuary Gardens, I'll be matching your donations, up to $500 today. Please, go and donate to this important effort.   What Leslie is going to be doing is creating gardens for black woman in her community at low or no cost. She highlights how the garden is a place of healing and sanctuary and wants to create spaces like this for black women in her area. I love this initiative and I would love to see it echoed around our Country. I want you to go read about it and know that your donation will be matched by us at Gardenary.   Now, let's get into what you should eat all summer long.   For full show notes on this episode head to www.gardenary.com/blog.   Hang out with me on Instagram @gardenaryco.   Thank you so much for listening!

Sometimes when you use the word garden – people immediately conjure up images of the ornamental perennial border. Other people, however, conjure up colorful visions of the summer vegetable garden – beginning to groan this time of year under the abundance and literal weight of the summer harvest of tomatoes, peppers, corn, zucchini and so on. Throughout history, these two distinct kinds of gardens – let’s call them the ornamental garden on one hand and the edible garden on the other – have had lots of overlap sometimes inadvertently and sometimes very intentionally. Who among us has not noted the beauty of the blossoms on any fruit tree, the freshness of the first peas of spring, or comforting shape and color of the apples of autumn? And who does not fully appreciate the double duty of some of our flowers and flowering plants – roses and salvias and nasturtiums, for example, in being both edible and beautiful? Today we are joined by Stefani Bittner, co-owner with fellow plantperson, floral and garden designer Alethea Harampolis of Homestead Design Collective based in the San Francisco Bay Area. They design gardens that are both beautiful and incorporate edible plants throughout. Stefani is co-author with fellow edible garden designer, Leslie Bennett, of “The Beautiful Edible Garden” (2013, Ten Speed Press). In February of 2017 Ten Speed Press will publish a book co-authored by both Stefani and Alethea entitled “Harvest.”

Leslie Bennett is a garden designer of both English and Jamaican descent working out of Oakland, CA. With a Jamaican-born husband, a two year old son, and knowledgeable, passionate views about the importance of cultural heritage, on cultivating Place this week, Leslie shares her journey navigating the marriage of beauty, function, cultural property and the radical activism of gardening. Join us!

Mojo Mom interviews Leslie Bennett, author of "The Feminine Mistake." Amy & Sheryl set the stage, then Amy jumps in to her conversation with the author of the controversial new book that warns mothers of the risks of financial dependency they may encounter after leaving the workforce. For Amy's practical tips on how to address these risks, read her recent blog post, "Taking Charge of Your Financial Security." There she lays out her own plan and lists additional resources to consult for sound financial planning.
