This week on Let's Eat In Cathy focused on urban, container and guerilla gardening. Robert Hyland (insideurbangreen.org) and Frieda Lynn, veteran-self proclaimed "urban greenscapers", discussed their work with everything from aesthetic landscaping to edible produce. Their style of spreading all things green combines rooftop and windowsill gardening techinques with an urban "guerilla" landscaping sensibility. A major topic was the utilization of "SIPS" or structural insulated panels, a literal building block and ultra-versatile tool of the urban greenscaper. Tune in to hear these green-thumbed revolutionaries talk about simultaneously making the city beautiful and growing food, all with a DIY mentality. This episode was sponsored Acme Smoked Fish.

This week on We Dig Plants Alice and Carmen talk West Coast plants after a journey Carmen made to Venice Beach and The Getty Museum. Who better to tackle the subject on-air than The Getty's Central Garden coordinator Jim Duggan, calling live from the warm sultry climate that allows just about anything to grow year round? The gals ask about his process for creating the Getty's remarkable gardens--planting plans that rival any museum on either coast. Tune in to hear how he made it all happen, and the few plants he longs to plant that we temperate climate folk can. This episode was sponsored by Roberta's Bushwick Block Party.
