That’s right! We’re back! Thanks to all of you who have reached out asking for more shows. Thanks to you, we’ll be bringing you another season of the greatest little podcast on earth- or close to it anyway. We’re starting the season with a really special show, maybe one of our most special. In this episode, Chris Fehlhaber speaks with Tim Johnson and Uli Lorimer from The Native Plant Trust about fatherhood and gardening. We hope you enjoy it, and we hope you’ll help share this special episode with your friends and families. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just show up. Happy Father’s Day everyone.
