Horticulture helps us improve the environment, strengthen community, use environmental solutions to solve real-world problems, and bring beauty to the world, all through growing plants! We can’t exist without the field of horticulture. As Brie explains, horticulture is relevant, necessary, and essential. In this episode, Brie discusses the different types of plant propagation and where each type is most appropriate - from nurseries to public gardens to home landscapes.

I sit down with THE Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms and talk all things tomatoes. We cover common issues like Blossom End Rot, delayed fruit set and ripening….plus other strange anomalies like cat facing and zippering. I ask Brad how Covid-19 has affected his business and what beautiful, tasty new varieties he has on the horizon. If you want a primer on Brad’s history, the story of Wild Boar Farms, and his process of creating stunning, novel tomato varieties, then check out episode 34 -- my first interview with Brad.
