Frankie sits down with Laurie Scott, founder of Regrow Altadena—a grassroots project literally rooted in healing. What began with a rescued pothos and a shelf of propagated succulents has blossomed into a powerful community effort to re-green the landscape of Altadena, one plant at a time. Laurie shares how this initiative grew from personal loss and a deep love of gardening into a broader mission to reconnect neighbors with nature, hope, and each other.
Together, they talk about everything from soil remediation and native plants to the quiet grief of losing more than just a house—like the beloved garden pots passed down from family or the fig tree that somehow survived. It's a conversation about rebuilding not just structures, but ecosystems, memory, and meaning. For anyone looking for tangible ways to nurture resilience and re-root themselves, this episode is a beautiful place to begin.
