Podcasts are here!

Today marks a grand experiment…I’ve made the leap into podcasting. Each episode is less than 30 minutes and contains (among other things) an outdoor interview with someone who does something interesting with gardens and landscapes. This week’s podcast features Seattle landscape designer Richard Greenberg, who took me on a tour of a garden he’s been working on for 20 years:


Linda with Richard Greenberg

The nice thing about having the blog host the podcasts is that I can include some photos from my interview sites.  Here are some shots of this lovely (but tiny) urban landscape, which features a huge sequoia right in the middle.


Yes, a sequoia in the middle of the garden


Fritillaria, I assume? (Please don’t mock my taxonomic ignorance)


Very cool iris

Please let me know what you think of the podcast; you can email me directly or post a comment on the blog.  Suggestions for future podcasts are most welcome!

  3. Hey Linda, you have a great voice for radio. Great pacing and delivery. I look forward to the next one.

    Maybe just get a few more photos of gardens you profile on the podcast, and please do show notes and links so we can easily find the things you’re talking about.

  4. I enjoyed your first podcast and plan to become a regular listener. Like Fiona, I’d love to see more photos (such as of the plant tags mentioned during the podcast). I linked to your first podcast from GardenRant, and then saw here on Garden Professors that you have a second podcast. Yay! 🙂

  6. Arie, this is a very small urban lot. The trick is to work with a landscape designer who can create focal points in small spaces. There are many books, and probably lots of web sites, that can help with this.
