I was so thrilled to listen to last weeks podcast. I felt like I was listening to 2 of my friends speaking. Jennifer, you and Joe are my favorite podcast friends. I smiled as I listened to your wonderful exchange with Joe. You 2 are certainly a gift to us all. Thank you

There are few offerings from the online world I genuinely look forward to, but this program is at the top of a very short list. Thank you Jennifer Jewell and team for creating this online space of inspiration and beauty for us all to gather.

This podcast is full of thoughtful, contemplative conversations between the host and guests that the audience gets to listen in on. I have really enjoyed the back catalog, and tend to scroll back to the current month in prior years, since the content often has seasonal rhythms. Only complaint...Read full review »

If you love gardens, history, social justice, community and education, Jennifer’s work will nourish your soul like fresh garden fruit.

Sensitive, insightful, learned, this podcast reflects deeply on gardening, place, nature, spirituality and our relationship with the more than human world.

Well, I still sharing the podcast the Jennifer did with Heather McCargo on why it is so important that we all start growing native plants from seed. Genetic diversity is the answer. This interview really answered my questions and put down the argument about cultivars vs native plants. Heather and...Read full review »

It’s obvious Jennifer puts extraordinary effort into every single episode of Cultivating Place. But what makes this show a true standout is the quality of the the guests and their stories.

I am a newly devoted gardener. A new home owner as well ..and DOES this podcast give me some motivational fuel. The high-light to my week is my commute to work in the early mornings, sipping coffee, and listening to Jennifer speak such beautiful truth. The way Jennifer shapes her sentences is...Read full review »

Cultivating Place is the thinking gardener’s podcast. Look forward to listening every single week.
Cookie dough bites via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/02/21
I have enjoyed Cultivating Place but it definitely has an aura of elitism, wealth and privilege. Ironically a few episodes have been about interviewees altering their gardens to specifically grow plants from other zones/eco-regions!! Not exactly ‘cultivating place’!!
Ghjjjs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/21
So thoughtful and enlightening. I can’t say enough good things about this podcast. Jennifer and her guests bring so much to the table. Give this a listen, you won’t be disappointed

This podcast, hosted by the superlative Jennifer Jewel, is a balm to the soul in these times of strife. After each and every episode, I feel rejuvenated and calm. Thanks to the entire Cultivating Place team for this outstanding program.

I love Jennifer’s calm style of interviewing. You can the question she asks are trying to get to the true representation of the person she is interviewing, not just checking off a list of questions. Such a great diversity of guests and their expertise.
Kestie77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/21
Jennifer is a fantastic and very calming host, bringing a wide range of guests from different cultural backgrounds, different gardening techniques, and practices!

ghb59 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/21
Thank you so much for your amazing podcast Jennifer, it’s so inspiring and lifts my soul! It brings hope. There is a lot of information out there on the ‘how to’ in plants, and gardening, which is fantastic, but the ‘how’ and ‘why’ is so important. Thank you for your in-depth conversations and...Read full review »

Jennifer Jewell interviews so many people I never knew about and people I know but didn't really KNOW. I like the way she walks us through her guests' lives and paths to horticulture. She leaves space for silence and thought, so the interviews don't feel rushed or pushed.Read full review »

Cultivating Place hosted by Jennifer Jewel is really a most enlightening, caring for Mother Earth Podcast that is loaded w/valuable information from the varied guest that are interviewed. A Must Listen⭐️
Knit2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/20
This podcast has planted so many seeds. The range of topics covered is delightfully vast. Jennifer Jewell's calm demeanor is a foil in some ways for the excitement I feel when I discover a new connection or impulse in myself or the greater community she explores. I try to save the episodes...Read full review »

I love this podcast for the wide range of horticultural topics, Jewell’s calm voice and interviewing style, and the great people she interviews. I always learn something and bought her new book that came out, which is just as informative and beautiful.
Goldymanrwc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/26/20
I was enjoying this show until she said that Merriweather Lewis discovered a berry while searching for the Shoshani (sp?) Indians. How can Europeans “discover” flora and fauna in a place that’s been inhabited by native people for thousands of years?? Thanks but no thanks.

I have to tell you that I was looking for any gardening podcasts and especially one with the art of roses. I have listened to those two podcast on roses which I loved, but wanted more. So, I listened to six in a row. I usually listen to these podcasts when I can’t sleep but these were so...Read full review »

Jennifer is one of my favorite people. She has inspired me many times. She researched well for her show and her voice is soothing and every show I listen to I want to open up time to listen to more. I have a personal goal to finally listen to every one she has cultivated. 🥰 I’ll get there but...Read full review »

I appreciate the reflective space that is offered, and silly as it may sound, I like the sound...Read full review »

Now, more than ever, we need to turn to nature to calm us, and to keep us grounded. Jennifer is one of the cleverest there is and has interviewed some superb guests. I’ll be listening more to her soothing voice, and sound advice over these next few weeks/ months. Thank you Jennifer
simplybyarrangement via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/27/20
I so appreciate the diversity of voices and cultures of guests on Cultivating Place. Jennifer asks questions that prompt me to think beyond my familiar and accustomed garden narrative of privilege and abundance. Cultivating Place expands my perspective on time and place. Keep up the remarkable work.

I so enjoy listening to Jennifer’s interviews and her unique perspective. Such a positive voice amid all the chaos around us.
MelissaMama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/20
This podcast does such a good job of highlighting different people around the country (and the world) who are involved in the gardening/plant world. Such a good range of different people focused on different areas of this area. Love it so!
Cultivating Place via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/20
I think this podcast is a great source of info and inspiration. However.. I feel like a lot of the interviews are with people who come from a background of wealth... If all people have relationships to plants, then the interviewees should be a diverse group of real people. I wish that more...Read full review »
CarolineHooks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/20
Gardens are balm for the soul, artful expression and a conversation with Nature in city, suburb, field or farm.

This podcast is a true gem - not just for gardeners, but for anyone who can slow down enough to appreciate its important themes for the world around us! I absolutely love the soothing tone, and the depth of the conversations. Jennifer is exceptional and I’m so thankful for her work! Bravo!
NitashaMan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/19
I love listening while working in my garden. I actually save them for garden time. Sometimes us serious backyard gardeners get so caught up in the never ending to-do list that suddenly it becomes stressful. So when I listen Jennifer pulls me back in to the true spirit of my endeavor. My purpose...Read full review »
jesskuh2007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/19
I have been cycling through many podcasts about native plants, bees, sustainably, etc. Cultivating Place has been a great place to land. Subject matter is focused, but diverse enough for every episode to be a learning opportunity.
Eric Riddle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/19
I like to think about gardening more than actually gardening and this podcast is just right for me. I hope that sounds like a complement because it was meant to be. Jennifer's enthusiasm and passion is contageous.Read full review »
