The Forest Garden

26
Nature #48

Have you ever wanted to transform your organic gardening practice into something more? Are you interested in ecology, permaculture, or sustainability? This podcast takes a deep dive into these topics, through in-depth commentary and relevant interviews with forest gardeners, permaculturalists, and regenerative system designers. The Forest Garden Podcast is a joint venture between Ben Bishop and Mike Amato, two plant nerds who in the summer of 2020 realized they shared the same alma mater and the same interests in alternative solutions to our rapidly evolving climate.

    So awesome! I love this podcast. Full of helpful discussions backed by intelligent reasoning. No dogma. These guys love what they do, and their passion is contagious. I am dreaming of adding to my forest garden/ prairie suburban plot. Thank you so much!!

    Breath of Fresh air(waves)
    I have been into permaculture for a few years now and the material was starting to get stale. However recently I’ve moved into a new home and have a new (longer) commute. So glad I found this podcast its really great to hear from people practicing permaculture in New England!
  • bonemeadows
    my mom thinks these guys are my friends
    because i love this show so much and always talk about it. when she listens to an episode she says ‘oh i listened to your friends again and learned so much!’ and i say ‘mom they’re not my friends i don’t even know them but they are really cool and i love their show too.’ best podcast for not just food forests, but growing food in general, using what you have and making it work for where you are, and building climate resilience and community at the same time. after every episode i get so excited about like ten new plants and have already added many that i first heard of here. extra points for new england charm and making me feel less hopeless about the state of gardening in the face of climate change.
