0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>M gout by miss you're thinking about going to the zoo. Yeah, so, Ruby,

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:18.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious. I'm doing this podcast about plants and I

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 1>want people to know. Would you say I'm good with plants?

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean you're good at other think soccer? What about gardening?

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>Now that that much, you've killed a couple of my plants,

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.319
<v Speaker 1>I killed a couple of your plants. Which one? You've

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>killed three of my babies and one of my cats.

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I killed three bases. So so tell people what a

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>basy is. It's a nickname for base on. That's very clear.

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, podcast listenairs, I might get tiger. It's true

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not good at gardening, but I'm about to get better.

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Humans Growing Stuff, a brand new podcast from

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>my Heart Media and our friends at Miracle Growth. So

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. I should be good at gardening. It's

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>in my blood. My grandfather was a botanist. He protected

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.759
<v Speaker 1>and expanded forests in India, and I have these incredible

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>memories of him walking through his lush backyard to pluck

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>tiny bananas off trees, or remember him waking me up

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.119
<v Speaker 1>to sneak a peek at some gorgeous flowers that only

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>bloomed at night. I mean, plants are magical, but it's

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 1>more than that. My dad worked in agriculture, my mom

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>could identify most flowers, my uncle is a master gardener,

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and me, I mean, you're good at think, but I

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>am here to change that. I'm determined to learn not

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>just tips and tricks for better gardening, even though we'll

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>get plenty of those from experts we talked to on

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the show. I want to dig into the real stories

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>behind people's planet sessions, and here the most incredible tales

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>hiding in the gardens because I want to hear about

0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>humans growing stuff. Humans like my friend Barre Tenda. Just

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>noticing what's already here has been a really necessary mental

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>health exercise. And so it's like I'll take a lap

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>around the backyard, which is not like a huge expanse,

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>but I can walk in a circle and see different

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 1>things at each route, and I'm checking in, oh, what

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of fruits going to grow here? And that helps

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>me feel less trapped or the plant cake. Michael Perry,

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you need to make gardening accessible and explain it very

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>differently to different people. And also failure. Failure is not

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a bad thing at all, and failure in gardening is

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>very natural and it happens a lot. But just don't panic.

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Just brush yourself down and move on. I'm doing this because,

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>like most people, I love the idea of gardening, and

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I plant curious. I want to know what combination of

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>garden plants makes a garden smell like chocolate cake, because

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 1>that actually exists, and what are the best ruts to

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>grow in your tiny New York City apartment. But I

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>also want to know are those studies true. Well, thirty

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>minutes of gardening a day really improved my marriage, well,

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>creating an urban jungle in my home reduced my stress.

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>But this isn't just about my questions. Why do you garden?

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>How has growing things changed to you? I want to

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>know what you want to know. Over the past six months,

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty one million new gardeners have popped onto the scene.

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>That's twenty one million unique experiences with sewing seeds and

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 1>getting your hands dirty, and twenty one million people discovering

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the joy of watching something grow. But whether you're a
