I’m still chatting about Gardens of Texas, most recently with Jacques Lyakov at The Beet podcast, “a show about plants — how to grow them, use them, how they affect our world and our lives.” Right on! Jacques and I had a fun and wide-ranging conversation about everything from what color to wear in the garden to growing plants in rusty pipes to creative rainwater capture.
You can listen wherever you catch podcasts or watch on YouTube. I hope you’ll check it out.
