278: Chatting about Gardening with Stephanie Rose

Stephanie is the founder of the popular website GardenTherapy.ca, an award-winning author (Garden Alchemy, 2020), and a student and teacher of organic gardening and permaculture who aims to encourage better living through plants.

The Regenerative Garden is a guide to working with nature, instead of against it, by employing permaculture techniques to create a garden that is not just more beautiful and productive, but also more resilient. Whatever the size of your space, from a tiny patio garden to a big backyard, and whether you grow food, flowers, shrubs, trees, or a combination of all, The Regenerative Garden is here to help you become a better, more eco-conscious gardener.

The 80 featured projects include step-by-step instructions on how to:

• Employ intensive planting to reduce weeding and watering chores
• Use living mulches to amend the soil
• Build self-watering planters and wicking beds to reduce water use
• Install a rain garden to catch runoff
• Plant a wildlife hedge to support creatures and create a windbreak and noise buffer
• Compost projects and systems to repurpose waste on-site
• Make a butterfly migration station to support pollinators of all sorts

A healthy, organic, regenerative garden is a perfect example of a self-sustaining ecosystem; everything works in tandem, is intricately connected, and comes full circle to create its own never-ending cycle of life.
