Ep. 24 - Highlands Biological Station Pt. 2

Part 2 of my tour of the Highlands Biological Station. Head horticulture specialist Russell Funderburk provides entertaining insights into what it takes to run a botanical garden. We get to meet loads of native plants, many of which are endemic to this region of North America.

Ep. 23 - Highlands Biological Station Pt. 1

When people found out that I would be living in western North Carolina, there was one sentiment I kept hearing, "You need to see the Highlands Botanical Garden." No one had to twist my arm for that to happen. Highlands is an incredible place which centers around research and conservation with a special focus on endemic plant species. Join me for a tour of the garden lead by Horticulture Specialist Russell Funderburk. As a special treat, here is a link to a photo album of some of the species you will hear about in this podcast: www.indefenseofplants.com/highlands

Ep. 5 - Terrariums

Sara Johnson from Sylvatica Shop stops by to talk to us about terrariums. With sudden resurgence in popularity, it seems like everyone and their brother wants to make and sell terrariums. Sadly, many of these attempts end in disaster. Sara teaches us a bit about what terrariums are and some of the ways in which you can make and maintain a successful terrarium.
