Podcasting with Native Plants Healthy Planet |
The excellent team of Fran Chismer and Tom Knezick from Pinelands Nursery host a podcast that's equal parts fun and education. The podcast, "Native Plants Healthy Planet," includes episodes with round table conversations, which they call Rooted Discussions. On their 80th episode, they hosted our marketing director, Shannon Currey, and Kate Ancaya, co-owner of Living Roofs. The discussion centered around green roofs and the plants that make them work. It was great discussion and a fun time.
