Obsessed with Plants Podcast
Welcome to the Obsessed with Plants podcast with David Starbird and Kristofer Edler. This deep-dive podcast will cover some of the nerdy topics that need a little more attention in the permaculture community. Both David and Kris have extensive backgrounds in regenerative agriculture with years of growing experience. In this introductory prelude to the podcast, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know your hosts a bit and learn about their passion and experience.
And along for the journey are our friends, a diverse group of plant, animal, and ecosystem enthusiasts; we all share a passion for education and learning. However, with a group that loves to ramble for hours... and hours, it's hard to condense their info into a short video.
So that's where this podcast comes in! The goal of the podcast is to provide useful information that we normally summarize into very brief snippets.
And to give an outlet to ramble on about our love for plants.
Each episode will be themed and cover a range of topics.
We hope you love our rambling about plants, and we hope to see you in the garden!!
