There are clumps of roses on sale at your nearest 7-11, but when you look at them you don't imagine how they grew or where they came from. Bouquets from Deadhead Floral here in Portland are totally different. You feel the sun and hear the wind when you look at their creations.
Join me in the garden of Deadhead's founder Mackenzie - her fascination with a flower's full life is a total paradigm shift from the average grocery store Russell Stover's tragedy.
If you're in Portland and would like a Deadhead Floral creation of your very own, you can find wreathes on sale at both Portland Nursery locations or DM Mackenzie on Deadhead's Instagram.

This conversation with Jonathan from @BundyCreekNatives did nothing less than change how I think about gardening. I think it'll do the same for you. Before you press play, ask yourself this simple question: "why do I buy birdseed?" Then strap the *!@# in.
For more information about habitat gardening here's a quick article with an introduction to some basic ideas.

Gardening heals me. Being with plants gentles my thoughts and helps me let go of pain. In this episode that I'm dedicating to a dear friend I lost earlier this year, I invite you to join me in that space - sit with me in my backyard, and this time let's not talk about anything.
Let's just be together, outside.

When it comes to growing my own veggies, I've got baggage from past garden trauma. My neighbor Rafael invites me join him in some harvesting to show me the joys of vegetable gardening. Can he expand my grinchy heart?

This one's for my city folks - nature isn't just for the burbs! And BTW, I thought I knew what I meant by "plant time" but this chat with my friend, the ever-poetic Joél Leon, put it on a whole new level.

Right as we were wrapping up recording for the day one of Jake's and Dene's new neighbors, a scrub jay, showed up. And it had some very specific requests.

How do you go from garden ideas to garden plans? In this episode I visit my friends and neighbors Jake and Dené (who just bought their first and very adorable Portland home). We dig a shovel into the messy process of deciding what to do first and, more importantly, where to do it.

It's the herb episode, and we're getting eerie with it. Discover why gathering herbs feels so witchy, what chants mom intones when harvesting lavender, and a recipe to one of my favorite potions.

Landscape architect and Clippings luminary Rachelle Crosby and I chop it up. She unleashes hot tips from her approach to cultivating wild spaces, and shares how her indigenous Laguna Pueblo background has shaped her relationship with plants.
The live audio at the end of the episode was captured in her wild sunflower space!

Thank god I'm in charge of this podcast, because my 11 year old niece Catalina joins me on this episode and if I had a boss they'd fire me and hire her instantly. Today we're deadheading flowers (and my future in this industry).
Also, there's a GIVEAWAY! We clipped a bunch of scabiosa (aka pincushion flowers) and we have seeds galore. Want some? DM me on our instagram and we will mail out seed packets while supplies last. Late summer and early fall are a great time to get these prolific and delightful perennials established (or just save them in your fridge for spring).

The temps are up and the thirst is very real. These garden girls need water, and they need it now. Think you know how to dish out the H20? There are lots of ways to go wrong...

This week we're in Albuquerque, we're hanging with my mom, and we're learning about bug deterrence, garden hose-style. The rosemary's babies are just as much of an issue as you heard they would be. Plus: local cuisine!
(alternate episode title: "It puts the lotion on its exoskeleton, or else it gets the hose again.")

For someone who loves being out in the yard, I'm not much of a grass guy. When things get out of hand, I need power tools and the help of a legendary ladies' hiphop supergroup to set things right.

We're tackling every gardener's favorite activity: weeding. I know, prob not your fave. But mom and I both take a crack at reframing this maligned garden activity. Let's get on our knees and start plucking!

The very first ever episode of Clippings deserves a momentous garden activity. But ya know what? Sometimes a girl's gotta ease into things. The cats and I venture outside to fertilize our younger trees and bushes.
