It's true 11 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm not good at gardening, but I'm about to get better. 12 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to Humans Growing Stuff, a brand new podcast from 13 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: my Heart Media and our friends at Miracle Growth. So 14 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: here's the thing. I should be good at gardening. It's 15 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: in my blood. My grandfather was a botanist. He protected 16 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: and expanded forests in India, and I have these incredible 17 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: memories of him walking through his lush backyard to pluck 18 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: tiny bananas off trees, or remember him waking me up 19 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: to sneak a peek at some gorgeous flowers that only 20 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: bloomed at night. I mean, plants are magical, but it's 21 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: more than that. My dad worked in agriculture, my mom 22 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: could identify most flowers, my uncle is a master gardener, 23 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: and me, I mean, you're good at think, but I 24 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: am here to change that. I'm determined to learn not 25 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: just tips and tricks for better gardening, even though we'll 26 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: get plenty of those from experts we talked to on 27 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: the show. I want to dig into the real stories 28 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: behind people's planet sessions, and here the most incredible tales 29 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: hiding in the gardens because I want to hear about 30 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: humans growing stuff. Humans like my friend Barre Tenda. Just 31 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: noticing what's already here has been a really necessary mental 32 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: health exercise. And so it's like I'll take a lap 33 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: around the backyard, which is not like a huge expanse, 34 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: but I can walk in a circle and see different 35 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: things at each route, and I'm checking in, oh, what 36 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: kind of fruits going to grow here? And that helps 37 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: me feel less trapped or the plant cake. Michael Perry, 38 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: you need to make gardening accessible and explain it very 39 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: differently to different people. And also failure. Failure is not 40 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: a bad thing at all, and failure in gardening is 41 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: very natural and it happens a lot. But just don't panic. 42 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: Just brush yourself down and move on. I'm doing this because, 43 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: like most people, I love the idea of gardening, and 44 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: I plant curious.

Why do you garden? 52 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: How has growing things changed to you? I want to 53 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: know what you want to know.
