This week on Greenhorn Radio Sev speaks to Marguerite of Mother Plants Nursery in upstate NY. Mother Plants specializes in baby plants that are green-roof ready, so you can jump start the "green" part of your green roof. They have a seemingly infinite amount of low maintenance, draft tolerant, "plug-size" plants and can deliver anywhere UPS is willing to trek. Their goal is to be a catalyst for the public's growing interest in green roofs, and facilitate not only the start of new roofs, but to ensure current roofs are the botanical wonderlands their owners had envisioned. This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch: purveyors of all natural grass-fed cattle from the coast of California.

This week on Greenhorns Radio Sev speaks with Jarrett Man of Stone Soup Farm in Belchertown, MA. Jarret speaks on the hurdles of working with volunteers--separating the dedicated vikings of the earth from the lackadaisical volunteers who disappear after the first bead of sweat. He and Sev praise The Small Farm Institute, an organization responsible for starting the farming career of Man and many, many others. Man also speaks on learning about farming; his school-born, formal, explicit education versus his on-sight, subtle, experiential wisdom. This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch.
