This is a special episode in which I'm broadcasting a cross over episode from my second podcast, Orange Blaze: A Florida Trail Podcast. My guests for the episode are Heather Housekeeper and Scott Weis, 2019 Florida Trail thru-hikers. Heather is a certified herbalist and Scott is a musician, and together they have hiked several trails throughout the eastern US, cultivating their deep love for plants and the outdoors. Be sure to check out the show notes to read their trail journals, purchase Heather's edible and medicinal guidebooks for the trails she's hiked, and learn a bit about the biodiversity Florida has to offer.

Today's episode features Don and Debora Young, founders of the Friends of Tandy Hills Natural Area. Don and Debora have been spreading the word about this amazing remnant prairie in east Fort Worth for several decades and when oil and gas exploration activity came to Fort Worth, they wanted to do something to protect this special place. Thus, Friends of Tandy Hills Natural Area was formed. Through the years the group has put together a decade of Prairie Fests as well as other outings for groups to get to know Tandy Hills and the unique flora and fauna that reside in this urban prairie landscape.

Welcome back to a new season of the podcast! I chat soil solarization, Alaska, and the summer garden, in addition to Tropical Storm Imelda.

Writer and gardener Nancy Lawson takes gardening for wildlife to the next level. After first encountering her book via my library system's digital lending services, I have since fallen for the way Nancy writes about wildlife and their interactions in our garden and in our lives. She frequently touches on points that create those 'aha' moments and you wonder why you hadn't been thinking that way from the start. The episode is packed full of great ideas and ways to re-think your approach to gardening for wildlife.
