    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.

    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.
