Whether you’re working with a balcony, backyard, or basic container garden, this episode will show you how growing your own food is more doable than you think—and how it can totally transform your kids’ relationship with food and nature.
Today, I’m joined by Rachael Carter, founder of Floraculture Gardens, to talk about gardening in real life (read: not Pinterest-perfect). We cover the hidden ingredients of truly healthy soil, why so many beginner gardeners give up too early, and how to raise kids who know what food should taste like.
This is a practical, inspiring conversation that’ll have you reaching for your seed packets—or at least your field guide.
We talk about:
• Why your store-bought soil is probably dead
• The difference between “organic” and “regenerative” gardening
• Gardening with kids—even if you’re a total beginner
• Where to start, what to grow, and what not to waste your money on
• Cooking seasonally (without needing a root cellar or a weekend to can tomatoes)
