Cultivating Place Cultivating Place redefines the garden podcast by exploring the profound cultural, historical, and spiritual connections between humans and plants. Hosted by Jennifer Jewell—a thoughtful writer and gardener based in Northern California—each episode weaves storytelling, ecology, and philosophy into rich audio essays and interviews with botanists, indigenous land stewards, landscape historians, and floral artists. Rather than focusing solely on “how-to,” the show asks “why”: Why do we garden? How do plants shape identity, community, and healing? Episodes might examine pollinator corridors in urban settings, the legacy of colonial botany, or the role of gardens in refugee resettlement. Aired weekly, episodes run 45–60 minutes and are produced with NPR-level audio quality. While not a step-by-step guide, Cultivating Place inspires deeper engagement with place-based stewardship and ethical growing. It’s ideal for listeners seeking meaning beyond aesthetics or yield—those who see gardening as an act of reciprocity with the earth. With poetic narration and global perspectives, this podcast nurtures not just gardens, but the gardener’s soul.
