M gout by miss you're thinking about going to the zoo. Yeah, so, Ruby, I'm curious. I'm doing this podcast about plants and I want people to know. Would you say I'm good with plants? I mean you're good at other think soccer? What about gardening? Now that that much, you've killed a couple of my plants, I killed a couple of your plants. Which one? You've killed three of my babies and one of my cats. I killed three bases. So so tell people what a
basy is. It's a nickname for base on. That's very clear. Hey there, podcast listenairs, I might get tiger. It's true I'm not good at gardening, but I'm about to get better. Welcome to Humans Growing Stuff, a brand new podcast from my Heart Media and our friends at Miracle Growth. So here's the thing. I should be good at gardening. It's
in my blood. My grandfather was a botanist. He protected and expanded forests in India, and I have these incredible memories of him walking through his lush backyard to pluck tiny bananas off trees, or remember him waking me up to sneak a peek at some gorgeous flowers that only bloomed at night. I mean, plants are magical, but it's more than that. My dad worked in agriculture, my mom could identify most flowers, my uncle is a master gardener, and me, I mean, you're good at think, but I
am here to change that. I'm determined to learn not just tips and tricks for better gardening, even though we'll get plenty of those from experts we talked to on the show. I want to dig into the real stories behind people's planet sessions, and here the most incredible tales hiding in the gardens because I want to hear about humans growing stuff. Humans like my friend Barre Tenda. Just noticing what's already here has been a really necessary mental
health exercise. And so it's like I'll take a lap around the backyard, which is not like a huge expanse, but I can walk in a circle and see different things at each route, and I'm checking in, oh, what kind of fruits going to grow here? And that helps me feel less trapped or the plant cake. Michael Perry, you need to make gardening accessible and explain it very differently to different people. And also failure. Failure is not a bad thing at all, and failure in gardening is
very natural and it happens a lot. But just don't panic. Just brush yourself down and move on. I'm doing this because, like most people, I love the idea of gardening, and I plant curious. I want to know what combination of garden plants makes a garden smell like chocolate cake, because that actually exists, and what are the best ruts to grow in your tiny New York City apartment. But I
also want to know are those studies true. Well, thirty minutes of gardening a day really improved my marriage, well, creating an urban jungle in my home reduced my stress. But this isn't just about my questions. Why do you garden? How has growing things changed to you? I want to know what you want to know. Over the past six months, twenty one million new gardeners have popped onto the scene.
That's twenty one million unique experiences with sewing seeds and getting your hands dirty, and twenty one million people discovering the joy of watching something grow. But whether you're a new gardener or a seasoned green thumb, or someone like me, someone who loves the idea of gardening but hasn't dug in yet this show is for you, So come join me on September twenty three for the first episode of Humans Growing Stuff, a podcast from I Heart Media and
your friends at Miracle Growth. This isn't your grandma's gardening podcast, unless your grandma is super cool and has great stories and is into growing things. Listen to Humans Growing Stuff on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
