Podcasts We’re Listening To Right Now (Besides Our Own Podcast)

Greenhouse Grower audience surveys show that podcasts continue to become more popular as a resource for growers to get information. Here are a few recent podcasts we recommend checking out (other than our own Greenhouse Grower to Grower podcast).

• Stories from the Garden: Each week, sit back and listen to award-winning author, internationally acclaimed horticulturist, and Greenhouse Grower Contributing Editor Dr. Allan Armitage as he talks about the “rest of the story.” For example, was there someone called Joe Pye, and how did the poppy become the flower of remembrance? Recent episodes cover Salvia madrensis, the origins of how dogwood came to be named, and what in the world is a wort. Learn more here.
• Behind the Bloom: Join J Schwanke and RJ Pole as they dig deeper into J Schwanke’s Life in Bloom, the beloved PBS and Create TV show all about flowers.
