ABOUT THIS EPISODE
April showers brought all the native flowers! Join Deep Roots as their “native plant nerds” take a virtual walk through Cydney’s home garden, show practical gardening tips, and talk about how to build gardens from scratch. Maddie Ball and Cydney Ross identify garden-variety native plants and demonstrate editing gardens with intent over time. Learn how (and when!) to divide or edit out native plants in the garden.
During the live Q&A Deep Roots answers gardening questions about best transplant practices, native plants that smell GOOD, how often to water your garden, and seasonal maintenance tips. Learn how to expand your garden and "harden your heart" when it comes to editing your native garden over time.
