| Plant Faves Part II: Live from The Soil Festival Atlanta | 21 Aug 2024 | 00:19:05 | |
We are back with a continuation of Black Plant Faves! This season, we kicked off with an insightful discussion between African American culture and the popularity of various plants, flowers, and herbs. To truly uncover the “Black Plant Faves,” we took to the streets and hit the soil! This Summer, we had the incredible opportunity to attend the Soil Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. The Soil Festival is a fun, family-friendly event focused on urban agriculture and our local food leaders. As an enthusiastic gardener and compost advocate, attending this event was a no-brainer for Black in the Garden. At the festival, we connected with some amazing Soil Cousins and lovers of lush landscapes, farming, and more. We received some expected answers and some surprising ones on our quest to discover what people love in their kitchens, backyards, and decor. Tune in for a fun and enlightening discussion at the Soil Festival, where we delve deeper into the Black Plant Faves. Special Thank you to our Soil Cousins who contributed to the conversation: Jess, Kia, Ayanna, Raphael, Andrea and Jenn, Randolf, Ale Sharpton of BrewGether For more information visit wabe.org/podcasts/blackinthegarden and Soil Fest 2024 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||

| Black Farm Life through FX’s “Atlanta” with special guest Kelundra Smith | 17 Jul 2024 | 00:43:29 | |
Hey Soil Cousins! What do farming, FX's original series “Atlanta,” and community have in common? Whether you're a fan of FX’s “Atlanta”, the American comedy-drama television series created by Donald Glover, or not, you'll enjoy this conversation. Today, we're diving into the perils of farm life through the lens of a contemporary Black cultural character’s farming experience. One of our favorite fictional characters, Paperboi, played by Brian Tyree Henry, was a staple in FX’s *Atlanta* series. We’re discussing some botanical and agricultural aspects of FX’s *Atlanta*, specifically Season 4, Episode 9, titled "Andrew Wyeth. Alfred's World." In this episode, Paperboi purchases and moves to a farm alone in the middle of nowhere, where he cultivates cannabis plants. We'll delve into how Alfred’s experiences on the farm reflect broader issues of identity, self-reliance, and resilience in the Black community. Joining us in conversation today is native Atlantan and fan of FX’s “Atlanta,” journalist Kelundra Smith. She is a multifaceted talent who’s as comfortable in the world of arts and culture as she is in her own imagination. The Impact Theatre Atlanta and Synchronicity Theatre will present the world premiere of Kelundra Smith's “The Wash” this summer.

| Plant Hacks with The Chocolate Botanist | 03 Jul 2024 | 00:39:53 | |
Today, we're diving into a topic that’s ever-present on social media: plant hacks. Our society has become quite obsessed with hacks as our lives become busier and more complicated. You've probably seen the myriad of hacks from spreading cinnamon on plants to adding eggshells to soil to help your plants flourish. These quick tips and tricks promise to revolutionize your plant care routine, but how many of them actually work? A plant hack is a quick, often innovative tip or trick aimed at improving plant care, making gardening tasks easier, or solving common plant-related problems. While some plant hacks are based on sound horticultural practices, others can be misleading or ineffective, making it important to distinguish between those that are scientifically valid and those that are not. To help us navigate this landscape of facts and "foolishment," we have a very special guest, Derek Haynes, aka The Chocolate Botanist, our resident ethnobotanist, viral sensation and a scientific communicator turned influencer who has upset the internet more than a few times by debunking fake plant hacks online. Derek is on an unrelenting quest to stop the "plant cap!" You might want to take notes for this one. To add more excitement, we have Plant Zaddy with another inspiring "Watering Moment."

| We Really Need to Talk About Eartha M. M. White | 05 Jun 2024 | 00:46:14 | |
Soil Cousins, it's story time! Today we're diving into the extraordinary life and legacy of Eartha Mary Magdalene White, an American humanitarian whose multifaceted career spanned education, business, and community activism. Eartha's passion for agriculture played a pivotal role in her philanthropic efforts to address food insecurity and nourish her community. Today, we're joined in conversation by two phenomenal guests, Eugene “Trey” Ford III, aka Trey, and Adonnica Toler, who will shed further light on Eartha's agricultural interests and their profound significance in her legacy of service. Trey holds it down as Market Coordinator at Eartha’s Farm & Market in Jacksonville, FL, and as an elected official, he's one of the Supervisors of the Duval Soil & Water Conservation District. Duval County residents know him as ‘Gene for the Peeps’ because he walks that walk! Adonnica Toler is the Museum Director of the Eartha M. M. White Historical Museum & Gardens, Inc., nestled within the Clara White Mission in Jacksonville, FL. Adonnica wears many hats – from internationally acclaimed art curator to history pro and everything in between. So, let’s dive into the importance of Agricultural Philanthropy, Contemporary Influence, and the legacy of Future Preservation as we celebrate the life of Eartha Mary Magdalene White.
