Changed my life

A lifetime of loving nature combined with the Master Gardener course a few years back led me to the nearly invisible world of native plants. Decades of gardening and here was this rabbit hole, the web of life at my fingertips. I wanted more. That’s where you came in.
Almost a year ago I found your podcast. I went to the beginning and tried to get totally current. Each and every episode inspires and challenges me to think about what I will do to make the world a better pace.
I have learned that to skip an episode might mean missing a delicious piece of knowledge, a new source of information, or fueling an ember of an idea burning at the back of my mind.
The cheerful banter is fun and something that helps with mental breaks, giving me the mental space to digest the tons of information packed in your shows.
A year later and I still loving every minute and can’t wait for the next podcast. And, until I gain the confidence to do my own thing, I will use my little platform at a retail nursery to spread the word about native plants.
Thank you Tom and Fran for everything, here’s to many more podcasts in the future.
