Customer Reviews
Saving the planet one plant at a time!
Wishing I could give this show more than 5 stars I am a weekly listener and find myself more engrossed each episode. I may be in the minority but I enjoy The Buzz episodes just as much as the guest interviews. The show always has some fun or exciting insights and the host present the material so that even the non Latin versed can enjoy. Share it will all your garden buddies! The best part of native plants is that there is a native plant for your garden no matter where you live.
Best Episode Ever!!!!
Meat Force of Nature!! Awesome interview, I wish for everyone in America to hear this podcast episode!!
Getting hooked on this podcast
Great episodes so far, starting with the Mt Cuba Center interview and working my way back. I started volunteering with a nonprofit native plants nursery and developing my own garden at the same time and got…. so confused. With close listening, clouds starting to clear, I can see the path from here.
