    Collards: A Cultural Journey Through Time and Taste

    Welcome back to another enriching episode of Black in the Garden with host Colah B. Tawkin and co-host Plant Zaddy. Indulge in a flavorful and historical exploration of collard greens (AKA Black Pant Fave), a symbol deeply rooted in Black culture. From their African origins to their modern-day presence in soul food and contemporary cuisine, collard greens carry a story of resilience, survival, and tradition. We’ll uncover the African origins of collard greens and explore how enslaved Africans used their agricultural knowledge to cultivate them. We also dive into the collards’ journey after emancipation, touching on New Year’s celebrations and everyday meals. Collard greens are rich in symbolism, representing prosperity, community, and a deep connection to ancestry. Join us as we honor the history, culture, and continued relevance of collard greens in the Black community. Special shoutout to food historian KJ Kearney and Tassili's Raw Reality Café!

    Black and Brewing with Ale Sharpton

    In today’s episode, we’re tapping into a conversation that blends beer, Black culture, and agriculture in a way that’s both innovative and meaningful. Ale Sharpton, the pioneering force behind BrewGether, joins us to explore how craft beer can be more than just a beverage—it can be a bridge to community empowerment, sustainability, and economic equity. We’ll dive into how BrewGether is making waves by supporting BIPOC farmers, connecting urban agriculture with the craft beer industry, and building opportunities for those traditionally underrepresented in this space. Ale’s mission is about more than brewing great beer—it’s about crafting a better future for our communities. How does hip-hop and beer intertwine?! Ale tackles fun rapid-fire questions, from pairing hip-hop albums with brews to imagining which legends of the genre would make the best brewmasters. Grab a drink (responsibly, of course), and join us for an inspiring discussion on how culture, craft beer, and change are brewing together. Disclaimer: At Black in the Garden and WABE, we celebrate the craft of beer responsibly. Please enjoy alcoholic beverages in moderation, and always prioritize your safety and well-being.

    Fall Into Your Zone: Autumn Planting & Hardiness Zones

    Soil Cousins! As the seasons change and we gear up for fall, it’s time to help you grow smarter, not harder. Today’s episode is all about “fall planting”—we're here to guide you through what to plant this season based on your “hardiness zones.” But first, what exactly are “hardiness zones”? These zones help gardeners and farmers determine which plants are most likely to thrive in specific climates. For many of us, fall is that perfect time to sip on pumpkin spice lattes while planting cool-weather crops. Today, we’re breaking down the zones and how they impact your region and horticulture. Spoiler alert: if you’re trying to grow pineapples in Alaska, this map will kindly suggest otherwise. We’ll go region by region to help you figure out where you fall on the map and what to plant. Joining us again for this episode is the phenomenal Joshua Hite, aka Plant Zaddy, to share his insights and tips.

    Plant Faves Part II: Live from The Soil Festival Atlanta

    We are back with a continuation of Black Plant Faves! This season, we kicked off with an insightful discussion between African American culture and the popularity of various plants, flowers, and herbs. To truly uncover the “Black Plant Faves,” we took to the streets and hit the soil!   This Summer, we had the incredible opportunity to attend the Soil Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. The Soil Festival is a fun, family-friendly event focused on urban agriculture and our local food leaders. As an enthusiastic gardener and compost advocate, attending this event was a no-brainer for Black in the Garden.  At the festival, we connected with some amazing Soil Cousins and lovers of lush landscapes, farming, and more. We received some expected answers and some surprising ones on our quest to discover what people love in their kitchens, backyards, and decor.  Tune in for a fun and enlightening discussion at the Soil Festival, where we delve deeper into the Black Plant Faves.  Special Thank you to our Soil Cousins who contributed to the conversation: Jess, Kia, Ayanna, Raphael, Andrea and Jenn, Randolf,  Ale Sharpton of BrewGether   For more information visit wabe.org/podcasts/blackinthegarden and Soil Fest 2024 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
