LH 171: How to Add Vintage Blooms to a Modern Garden
It's a wonderful thing to add flowers to our vegetable gardens to attract pollinators. But it's also REALLY important to feed our souls as well as the pollinators when we're gardening.
Growing heirloom flowers is a way to do just that.
What is an “heirloom” flower and why are they so special?
That’s what host Theresa Loe sets out to answer on today’s podcast episode. She explores the many benefits of adding vintage blooms to our gardens with garden author, Chris McLaughlin.
Chris shares her insights into these treasured plants, why we need to add more flowers to our veggie gardens, and why heirlooms hold a special place in our hearts.
Plus, Chris shares her recipe for making lavender-honey simple syrup, which is awesome in SO many different drink concoctions.
