Speaker 1: M gout by miss you're thinking about going to the zoo. Yeah, so, Ruby,
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I'm doing this podcast about plants and I
Speaker 1: want people to know. Would you say I'm good with plants?
Speaker 1: I mean you're good at other think soccer? What about gardening?
Speaker 1: Now that that much, you've killed a couple of my plants,
Speaker 1: I killed a couple of your plants. Which one? You've
Speaker 1: killed three of my babies and one of my cats.
Speaker 1: I killed three bases. So so tell people what a
Speaker 1: basy is. It's a nickname for base on. That's very clear.
Speaker 1: Hey there, podcast listenairs, I might get tiger. It's true
Speaker 1: I'm not good at gardening, but I'm about to get better.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Humans Growing Stuff, a brand new podcast from
Speaker 1: my Heart Media and our friends at Miracle Growth. So
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I should be good at gardening. It's
Speaker 1: in my blood. My grandfather was a botanist. He protected
Speaker 1: and expanded forests in India, and I have these incredible
Speaker 1: memories of him walking through his lush backyard to pluck
Speaker 1: tiny bananas off trees, or remember him waking me up
Speaker 1: to sneak a peek at some gorgeous flowers that only
Speaker 1: bloomed at night. I mean, plants are magical, but it's
Speaker 1: more than that. My dad worked in agriculture, my mom
Speaker 1: could identify most flowers, my uncle is a master gardener,
Speaker 1: and me, I mean, you're good at think, but I
Speaker 1: am here to change that. I'm determined to learn not
Speaker 1: just tips and tricks for better gardening, even though we'll
Speaker 1: get plenty of those from experts we talked to on
Speaker 1: the show. I want to dig into the real stories
Speaker 1: behind people's planet sessions, and here the most incredible tales
Speaker 1: hiding in the gardens because I want to hear about
Speaker 1: humans growing stuff. Humans like my friend Barre Tenda. Just
Speaker 1: noticing what's already here has been a really necessary mental
Speaker 1: health exercise. And so it's like I'll take a lap
Speaker 1: around the backyard, which is not like a huge expanse,
Speaker 1: but I can walk in a circle and see different
Speaker 1: things at each route, and I'm checking in, oh, what
Speaker 1: kind of fruits going to grow here? And that helps
Speaker 1: me feel less trapped or the plant cake. Michael Perry,
Speaker 1: you need to make gardening accessible and explain it very
Speaker 1: differently to different people. And also failure. Failure is not
Speaker 1: a bad thing at all, and failure in gardening is
Speaker 1: very natural and it happens a lot. But just don't panic.
Speaker 1: Just brush yourself down and move on. I'm doing this because,
Speaker 1: like most people, I love the idea of gardening, and
Speaker 1: I plant curious. I want to know what combination of
Speaker 1: garden plants makes a garden smell like chocolate cake, because
Speaker 1: that actually exists, and what are the best ruts to
Speaker 1: grow in your tiny New York City apartment. But I
Speaker 1: also want to know are those studies true. Well, thirty
Speaker 1: minutes of gardening a day really improved my marriage, well,
Speaker 1: creating an urban jungle in my home reduced my stress.
Speaker 1: But this isn't just about my questions. Why do you garden?
Speaker 1: How has growing things changed to you? I want to
Speaker 1: know what you want to know. Over the past six months,
Speaker 1: twenty one million new gardeners have popped onto the scene.
Speaker 1: That's twenty one million unique experiences with sewing seeds and
Speaker 1: getting your hands dirty, and twenty one million people discovering
Speaker 1: the joy of watching something grow. But whether you're a
Speaker 1: new gardener or a seasoned green thumb, or someone like me,
Speaker 1: someone who loves the idea of gardening but hasn't dug
Speaker 1: in yet this show is for you, So come join
