The Power of local garden Knowledge: In The Coastal Garden, Lyons Filmer & Susan Hayes

Cultivating Place: Conversations on Natural History and the Human Impulse to Garden

As summer arrives, more than 1 million US households are now engaged in gardening – a number that is double what it was before the pandemic. This week we focus on the communal power and importance of local garden information – provided in-person, on-air, in writing, or online, to help grow gardeners. We’re in conversation with Lyons Filmer and Susan Hayes, creators and hosts of "In The Coastal Garden", a bi-weekly community radio program serving their region of coastal Northern California, their joy and passion provide a great region-specific template for anywhere people garden. Listen in! 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, iTunes, Google Podcast, and Stitcher. To read more and for many more photos please visit www.cultivatingplace.com.
