    Episode 86: The Flower You Think Is Soap

    Lavender shows up on every candle, hand soap, and pillow spray you own, but its real history runs through Roman bathwater, door-to-door lavender sellers in Surrey, and a French chemist who accidentally named the entire practice of aromatherapy after burning his hand in a lab. We're getting into where English lavender actually comes from, what the science behind linalool tells us about why this plant has been used medicinally for over two thousand years, and what gets lost when a plant this interesting becomes an aesthetic instead of a subject.🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

    Episode 85: The Case for Backyard Wildlife with David Mizejewski

    David Mizejewski, naturalist with the National Wildlife Federation, has spent over two decades making wildlife accessible for families and is the co-creator of Wild Critters USA with PBS Nature and Orbit: Science for Kids. His argument is simple: the most important wildlife you can connect with is already outside your door.We talked about why local wildlife matters for building real conservation values in kids, how habitat gardening works (and why your garden might already qualify as certified wildlife habitat without you knowing it), and what actually happens when kids get to ask a wildlife expert anything.Find David at: https://naturalist.nwf.orgWild Critters USA on YouTube: https://National Wildlife Federation: https://nwf.orgNWF Certified Wildlife Habitat program: https://certifiedwildlifehabitat.nwf.org/🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*#backyardwildlife #habitatgardening #nativeplants #wildlifegarden #gardeningpodcastThe Case for Backyard Wildlife with David Mizejewski

    Heat wave gardening, a pond update, and way too many tomatillos? This week's What's Growing On has all of it.Meg and Dagny catch up on surviving a 100°+ heat wave (and the 5am watering schedule that comes with it), the squash casualties of an over enthusiastic weeding session, and why one lone container of pineapple sage almost became a root rot disaster. Meg shares her nightly bug hunting routine that's kept her garden nearly pest free this year, Dagny gives a full report on her new backyard pond (native plants, tree frogs, and all), and both of them are drowning in tomatoes, cucumbers, and three tomatillo plants that had other plans.Support our podcast and get exclusive bonus content:https://www.patreon.com/c/GardenGirlsPodcast Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
