We have seen the word "Ayurveda" stamped on many ideas and items, making it difficult to pin down.

Dr. Pratima Raichur, who grew up learning and being exposed to Ayurveda, clears up any misunderstandings on the traditional practice and explains how its connected to every layer of our body, especially the skin.

This week, Cultivating Place’s guest host, Ben Futa, is in conversation with Katie Elzer-Peters, owner and founder of The Garden of Words, a digital marketing agency for the green industry. Katie is a lifelong plant lover, storyteller, communicator, and artist. 

An early love for museums and public gardens led Katie to discover what has today become her mission: empowering more plant-based businesses to thrive so that more people can discover the joy of gardening. 

As they write, the team at The Garden of Words used to grow only plants. Now, they still grow plants, but they also grow businesses.

The conversation centers around reclaiming joy, finding balance, and changing direction. On the cusp of this winter season of rest, rejuvenation, and unpacking, this feels like a timely moment to consider what we want to bring forward, and what we want to leave behind, as we head in to a new season of abundance and growth and learning in the next few months. Enjoy!

Many gardeners are also collectors. Collectors of things like pots, books, seeds, and - of course - plants. Some plant collecting gardeners collect flowers, shrubs, herbs or seeds. Others collect trees – and when writer, artist and curious human Amy Stewart, award winning author of Flower Confidential, Wicked Plants, and The Drunken Botanist, ran into more and more humans who collected trees in various ways – she started to collect stories about them.

In her newest book, The Tree Collectors, Tales of Arboreal Obsession (out now from Random House), which she researched, wrote and illustrated, Amy shares much of more about these tree-collecting people, including what they can teach us about trees, and about humanity - from fascinating motivations to moving outcomes.

Amy Stewart’s with us this week on Cultivating Place - join us!

To ring in the New Year, this week on Cultivating Place, guest host Ben Futa is in conversation with Bo Dennis, lead farmer and designer of Dandy Ram farm, located in rural Maine. Dandy Ram is an LGBTQ+ flower farm and floral design studio that sustainably grows and designs florals for weddings and ships evergreen and floral products nationally.

Spring is a time when the natural world revives after the colder winter months, with dormant plants beginning to grow, new seedlings sprouting, and hibernating animals awakening. Birds, insects and flowers make an appearance. Richard Ring, Botanist for the NY Natural Heritage Program, talks about spring with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Angela E. Douglas is Emerita Daljit S. and Elaine Sarkaria Professor of Insect Physiology and Toxicology at Cornell University. She is the author of several books, including Nature on the Doorstep, Fundamentals of Microbiome Science, and Insects and Their Beneficial Microbes.

We spoke to Angela about the difference between natural history and science, why it is important for us to understand that nature is not some distant place far apart from humans, and she reads sections of her book showing why the natural world is the most interesting and fun place to be.

We think of plants as slow-growing, passive entities.  But new research shows they have a very rich inner life.  Botany professor Simon Gilroy talks about his latest findings.

Gardens are more than collections of plants. Gardens and Gardeners are intersectional spaces and agents for positive change in our world. Cultivating Place: Conversations on Natural History and the Human Impulse to Garden is a weekly public radio program & podcast exploring what we mean when we garden. Through thoughtful conversations with growers, gardeners, naturalists, scientists, artists and thinkers, Cultivating Place illustrates the many ways in which gardens are integral to our natural and cultural literacy. These conversations celebrate how these interconnections support the places we cultivate, how they nourish our bodies, and feed our spirits. They change the world. Take a listen.
