I’ve been following Melissa Cameron, Organic Master Gardener and founder of The Good Seed, for a while now and she was an obvious choice to bring onto the show and answer some of the main questions when it comes to planning and planting gardens - both decorative and edible.
In this episode we cover:
● Where to start when planning a decorative garden.
● How to factor in light, soil, and space when choosing plants.
● The difference between native, adaptive, invasive species.
● Where to get quality plants and soil (and what to avoid).
● How to start an edible garden.
● What you need to maintain healthy soil.
● Starting plants from seed vs starter plants.
● When to plant inside vs outside.
● How can you control pests without using pesticides.
Melissa has co-created a masterclass, A Year in the Urban Garden that walks you through the stages of planning, planting and harvesting an edible urban garden. You can learn more about it here: https://thegoodseedto.com/

Green at Home is no longer an operating business, as its founder, Emma Rohmann, has gone back to her engineering roots in large-scale green building consulting. She is keeping her free resources, including the podcast and blog, live but you will find other links to resources are likely broken in these show notes.
Thanks for being here!
