I really enjoy your podcast Hothouse, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in design, ecology, and the way we garden now. I just listened to the episode with ecologist Douglas Tallamy about his books Nature's Best Hope, and The Living Landscape. Thank you for the invaluable takeaways.
Getting into gardening and the mulch episode answered so many questions! Thanks, I’m officially subscribed :)
Wow!
I’m so glad I found this podcast. I’m a landscape architect, master gardener and micro farmer. I swear Leah picks the topics I personally want to know more about
I live in Austin and want to meet all the people involved with Hothouse- starting with a class soon with the Mycoalliance

Any plant or nature lover, no matter what their level of involvement, should check out Hothouse. From the exploration of nature as a demarcation of time and existence to the current issues regarding equal access to park space, it hits on countless themes that are remarkably relevant to the current state of the world as well as personal reflection and growth.
With so much out there on the “how” it’s great to hear more of the “why”. Discussion of interrelated issues of people and culture with respect to the environment make this podcast unique.
