“This is a good one, the premier Native Plant podcast in North America. There are other great shows like In Defence of Plants, Crime Pays, and Cultivating Place, but Tom and Fran are top of the heap at the moment for me. Great job guys.”

“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.”

“Hi it’s me Carol, who won the Soil book. I enjoyed this episode. It’s always interesting to hear how people got into the horticulture business. Horticulture wasn’t my first career choice either. Hopefully this episode inspires someone to change their career into this field.”
