How many times have you said, “It's just been too hot,” or “We haven't had enough rain”? Weather is an easy scapegoat when our gardens struggle — but is it really the whole story? In this episode, I'm sharing a personal parallel from my years in the car business to show how blaming outside factors (like the weather) can actually hold us back. We'll talk about: Why observation is your most powerful gardening tool How to recognize when the weather really is to blame — and when it isn't Other factors that might be affecting your crops (soil, sun, irrigation, pests) Practical strategies to work with the weather instead of against it This is more of a mindset conversation — equal parts tough love and encouragement — to help you stop letting the weather win and start focusing on what you can control.
If you've ever felt stuck on your weight loss journey and wondered why you just can't stay consistent, this episode is for you.Spoiler: it's usually not just about food, it's about the stories you believe about yourself.In this episode, I'm diving into the sneaky limiting beliefs that hold us back, and how to start rewriting them so they actually work for you instead of against you.You'll hear a live replay from inside the Lean with Plants community, where we talk about how to:Spot the beliefs that quietly sabotage your progressReframe your mindset so showing up feels doable (even on the messy days)Create empowering stories that keep you moving toward your goalsThink of this as your gentle reminder that lasting change doesn't start with a new meal plan — it starts with a new belief in what's possible for you.If you're ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6
Part 2 of our time in the woods with naturalist Sandy Geffner. This time, Sandy leads Steve and Bill on a “hike”—though with Sandy, the word takes on a different meaning. You might not cover much distance, but you'll travel miles in understanding: exploring ecology and hearing stories of the forest and the wildlife within it. Enjoy!This episode was recorded on July 21, 2025 at JP Nicely Memorial Park in West Falls, NY.Episode Notes and LinksSandy's favorite books: A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold and Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard. But we feel that we have to call ourselves out here because we've been critical of Simard's work before and maybe we should've brought this up with Sandy during the episode (but we obviously didn't have the stones). For a deep dive into some of the criticisms of Simard's word, check out the In Defense of Plants podcast's series of episodes that starts here. Or this article by three professors who've spent their careers studying forest fungi.

In this week's show Lian is joined by Paula Robinson. As an intuitive interior designer, Paula understands the profound effect that the spaces where we live and work have on our health, happiness and success in life. Often called the ‘space whisperer', she helps people to create living and working environments that transform their lives on all levels. Paula has been an interiors columnist for The Sunday Times, the Sunday Telegraph and Move Or Improve? magazine, and is the author of "The Healing Home & Garden: Reimagining Spaces for Optimal Wellbeing" and "The Room Planner: Over 100 Practical Plans For Your Home". Paula is happiest in nature - especially by the sea - and loves designing outdoor spaces. She is passionate about the environment, sustainable design, re-purposing furniture and objects, and supporting craftspeople over mass-producers. In this episode, Lian and Paula explore how our homes shape our bodies, minds, and mythic lives… the primal ways space soothes or unsettles us, and the quiet work of making a dwelling that heals. Together, they trace the path from head to heart, from trend to truth, and from copybook rules to the felt sense of sanctuary. Together, they journey through refuge and prospect, the simple power of moving a chair, and why bedrooms and workspaces ask for special care. Paula shares how intuitive design emerges, how objects carry the craft and energy of their makers, and how plants, animals, light, and air restore a room's vitality. At the centre of this conversation is a gentle invitation… listen to what your home is already telling you, let your instincts set the first mark, then let practicality refine it. Beauty follows when a space begins to mirror the soul that lives there. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Start with feeling, then refine with form: notice how each room lands in your body, create refuge and prospect by seeing both door and view, then let measurements and plans serve what already feels right. Small changes shift everything: rearrange to interrupt stale traffic patterns, personalise even temporary spaces, and enliven rooms with plants, natural light, fresh air, mirrors, and the quiet presence of animals. Design as living story: choose objects that speak to you, honour their makers and materials, and when a house feels unsettled, consider energetic space clearing so the home and its history can move with you rather than against you.

In this short podcast episode, Bryan explains how leaky ducts can lead to sweaty, uncomfortable houses. Moisture issues are common all across humid and "green-grass" climates in the United States. Hot, unconditioned attics and crawl spaces also often have high dew points, which can cause moisture problems in those spaces. Plants also release moisture, so agricultural communities also have those special considerations. There are several HVAC and building design factors that can prevent or worsen growth from moisture problems. Duct leakage is one of those factors. Return and supply leaks can cause moisture to enter the ductwork. Return leaks suck in air from around the leak. Supply leaks create a pressure differential that can cause mechanically-driven infiltration (MAD-AIR); when a supply duct leak puts the attic under positive pressure, somewhere else has to go under negative pressure. There are lots of gaps and cracks around boots and can lights, which provides pathways for hot, moist air to seep into the envelope. Longer runtimes and keeping the fan on will worsen these conditions. We need to control the source of moisture and then seal the ducts and boots before we focus on the equipment. Visual inspections at the connections and boots will go a long way, but there are also plenty of tools for testing duct leakage, especially by Retrotec and TEC. You can also measure house pressure to the outdoors with the air handler running and all the doors closed, but that's a qualitative measurement that has a lot of other variables to consider.

Gov. Jim Pillen declined to sign draft regulations for the medical cannabis industry the commission approved last week. In a letter to the commission sent Thursday, Pillen wrote "Leaving the cultivators without a limit would increase likelihood of an overabundance of cannabis product that creates an unregulated, unintended black-market supply.” The commission responded by placing a limit of 1,250 flowering plants for each cultivator.

Researchers have created the world's first complete map of a crucial cellular system that helps plants respond to stress. The breakthrough could transform our understanding of how living things adapt to their environment and open the door to new ways of protecting plants against climate change. The study, led by researchers from Durham University and published in Science Advances, focuses on a process called SUMOylation. Mapping Plants stress cellular systems This is a form of protein tweaking that acts like a molecular switch, fine-tuning how cells grow, divide and respond to change. Despite its importance in plants, animals and humans, scientists have until now been unclear about how the many pieces of the SUMO system work together inside a living organism. Using the tiny model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the team built a detailed SUMO Cell Atlas that shows, cell by cell, where and when each component of the system is active. They discovered that different tissues within the root use SUMOylation in very specific ways, allowing the plant to mount highly tailored responses to challenges such as salty soils, drought-like conditions or attack by microbes. One of the most striking findings is that a single enzyme, known as SCE1, appears to act as the central driver of the stress response across all conditions tested. Other enzymes, particularly specialised proteases, show distinctive patterns depending on the type of stress and the cell type, providing further layers of control. Study co-author Dr Miguel de Lucas of Durham University said: "Our study demonstrates the value of interdisciplinary partnerships between UK institutions combining diverse areas of expertise (Nottingham, Cambridge, Liverpool and Durham). "The findings highlight the crucial role of protein modifications in controlling cellular plasticity and future work should explore how these findings connect with other relevant protein modifications, such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination". Beyond its scientific importance, the discovery has practical promise. By revealing which parts of the SUMO system are most critical for survival under stress, the research highlights new targets for improving the resilience of crops such as rice and wheat. The ultimate aim is to breed or engineer plants that can better withstand heat, drought, salt or disease, helping to safeguard food supplies, and to implement biodiversity conservation approaches in a changing climate. The full SUMO map is freely available for researchers worldwide via the University of Toronto's online resource: https://bar.utoronto.ca/SUMO_ Map/ The research was supported by UKRI-BBSRC (BB/V003534/1).

Monica Francia (she/her) is a Naturopath based in lutruwita / Tasmania. She is a consulting Naturopath, medicine maker, Teacher and Medicinal Herb Farmer at her small scale organic and biodynamic herb farm - Hop Valley Herb Farm. She is also the Coordinator for Herbalists Without Borders Hobart, a non-profit providing accessible health care in nipaluna / Hobart and surrounds. In this episode we dive into a many layered topic that feels really important - how we can avoid the commodification of herbs. Seeing plants as commodities is almost imporssible to avoid, when we live in a world that is steeped in capitalist views of nature, and evenmoreso when our livelihoods are based on selling herbs in some for or other. Is this something you think about? What do you do in your plant walk that helps you move away from planet as commodity and towards plant as living being, teacher, ally or friend?Herbal commodities are virtually the opposite of sacred herbalism; it feels pertinent that we've unpacked a few layers of this here.

Discount link for upcoming webinar Layer by Layer on Monday September 29 at 6 pm CDT.LUKE DAHLBERG BIOWith over twenty years of experience in propagating midwestern native plants, Luke Dahlberg turned his passionate backyard hobby into a career. Luke earned his degree majoring in Ornamental Horticulture and a minor in Business from the University of Wisconsin - Platteville. After working in the commercial nursery trade for several years, Luke landed his current position as Conservation Seed Program Manager at Citizens for Conservation, an organization that he started volunteering at in 2004 and became part of the organization's staff in 2018 where he continues CFC's mission of restoring and educating others about the ecosystems of the Chicago area. Collaborating with Lake County Forest Preserves, Luke was able to use their greenhouse to propagate rare native plants and learn from germination trials the best practices to use to reintroduce them into the wild in preserved plant communities. Luke loves to share what he has learned in plant propagation with others through his Instagram page, and had had opportunities to speak at the Wild Things Conference in Chicago, teach native plant propagation classes at The Morton Arboretum, and speak at a TEDx event and posts on the Grassland Restoration Network blog. In his spare time, Luke enjoys photographing birds and wildflowers and spending time with friends and his family.You can learn more from Luke by visiting his Instagram page @seedtech_luke and Citizens for Conservation at citizensforconservation.org.THE PLANTASTIC PODCASTThe Plantastic Podcast is a monthly podcast created by Dr. Jared Barnes.

Gardening isn't static—it evolves as we learn, as plants grow, and as our vision for our outdoor spaces changes. Today's episode tackles the art and science of moving plants within your garden, a skill that frees you to redesign without starting over or breaking the bank.We begin by exploring the foundational principle of "right plant, right place" that should guide your initial planting decisions. Understanding your garden's conditions and matching them to plant requirements can prevent the need for transplanting altogether. But gardens change, and sometimes plants need to find new homes within our spaces.The timing of transplanting proves crucial for success. The dormant season—November through February—offers the ideal window when plants are less susceptible to shock. Perennials like lupins, verbena, and geraniums can be easily moved during this period, while larger woody plants require more careful consideration and technique.Mycorrhizal fungi emerges as the secret weapon for successful transplanting. This natural ally forms a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, increasing their ability to absorb water and nutrients. Applied at planting time, it significantly improves establishment rates and helps mitigate transplant shock.For larger specimens like trees and shrubs, we delve into specific techniques to preserve as much of the root system as possible, reduce top growth to decrease demands on the compromised roots, and provide proper aftercare. Container plants present their own challenges, particularly when root-bound, and we cover how to correct circular root patterns before planting.Whether you're making minor adjustments to perennial placement or undertaking the significant challenge of moving a mature magnolia, understanding these principles and techniques will transform your approach to garden design. Your plants deserve this second chance, and with our guidance, they'll thrive in their new locations.Support the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

Eliza Swann, also known as Emerald, is a writer, artist, alchemist and scholar based in New York. Swann's formative years cultivated a deep interest in the intertwined studies of mysticism and fine art, which remain central to their work as both artist and educator. Swann received a BA in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute (2004) and an MFA from Central St. Martins in London (2012). Additionally, Swann is an initiate in Gnostic and Hermetic orders, has studied Vedic cosmology with Dr. Vagsish Shastri, trained in mindfulness meditation at the Insight Meditation Society, and studied herbalism and gardening under the guidance of their witch aunt. These studies inform their expansive approach to esoteric and ecological practices.Swann teaches art and mysticism as a unified practice and, in 2014, founded Golden Dome, an artist-in-residence program rooted in queer intersectional mysticism. Since its inception, Golden Dome has expanded to offer nationwide exhibitions, residencies, publications, and educational programming. Swann is currently faculty at Pratt Institute, where they teach “The Alchemical Imagination”, a course they created to introduce alchemical concepts to contemporary creative practice. In 2025, Swann transitioned from directing Golden Dome to launch a new initiative: Emerald School, which explores alchemy as a living, transdisciplinary practice.As a visual artist, Swann has exhibited internationally, most recently at the University of California Santa Cruz and the Feminist Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles. They are the author of The Anatomy of the Aura, Green Mary, and The Alchemical Imagination, and have contributed to numerous publications. Their work has been supported by PEN America, the Foundation for Contemporary Art, the Author's League Fund, the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, the Pratt Faculty Development Fund, the Feminist Center for Creative Work, the Hemera Fellowship for Contemplative Practice, and the Wassaic Project.Today Eliza shares about their roots, literally, the gardens of their aunt and a return to them after living and traveling beyond. We talk about alchemy and how it folds many disciplines, prayer, devotion, poetry, intuition... into its being. Eliza recalls teachers both direct and indirect and what they're work surfaced. We discuss grief and how alchemy has supported them in navigating both the personal and the global. The Emerald School is the container for their work where they guide folks through the stages of alchemy including a freeing of self and specialty, to move into deeper collaboration with all. "The school becomes a crucible: a space where diverse elements converge, disciplinary boundaries blur, and new ways of knowing can take shape."We talk about their upcoming 9 week online course, "The Alchemical Imagination," Sept. 14-Nov. 16, and their upcoming offering as a part of the O+ Festival, "The Star Inside: Alchemy and the Power of Plants" and why mugwort became a part of the conversation.Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

In summer, many shrubs bear fruit that birds find irresistible. Elderberries, serviceberries, blackberries, dogwood berries, mulberries, and currants attract many species of birds, including waxwings, tanagers, robins, warblers and this Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Plants offer this bounty in exchange for birds' help in distributing their seeds. And in dispersing pollen, birds, bats and insects also help to guarantee a new crop of berries!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

On this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Julie Williams, founder of Leaf People, to explore the transformative power of plants, herbalism, and plant-based skincare. Julie takes listeners on a journey from her upbringing in rural Alaska—surrounded by wild forests and medicinal plants—to her global studies in botanical medicine, and ultimately to the creation of a skincare line that celebrates the intelligence of plants.Long before “clean beauty” became a buzzword, Julie envisioned formulations that go beyond the usual staples. Leaf People integrates powerful botanicals like reishi, rhodiola, ginkgo, burdock root, and horsetail, capturing the full spectrum of each plant's chemical and energetic properties. Her approach is holistic, emphasizing whole-plant synergy and honoring the subtle energetics of each ingredient through practices like meditation, Reiki, and blessings by Tibetan monks.Julie also shares her philosophy of ally pairing, inspired by how plants naturally grow together in communities, and how this principle shapes her formulations. Beyond skincare, Leaf People reflects a broader vision of connection—between people, plants, and the environment. From farmers markets to direct customer education, Julie builds a brand rooted in respect, sustainability, and shared ecosystem thinking.This episode is an invitation to discover herbalism, explore the untapped potential of botanicals, and understand how intentional, plant-based skincare can nourish not only your skin but also your connection to nature. Tune in to hear Julie Williams share her journey, the inspiration behind Leaf People, and her perspective on how plants can heal, guide, and transform.To learn more about Leaf People, visit their website and social media.
