From the Alaskan frontier to a year-round gardener in Nova Scotia to the home garden of host, Joe Lamp’l – this season promises to have something for everyone.
In Episode 1010 we are reminded that the garden experience goes beyond our relationship with our plants. We are also supporting the nature which shares our space. There are lessons to be learned from the birds who visit our landscape.
