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!!

EPISODE 3: Planting Native Species
Native species of plants are a multi-layered gift to the ecosystem. Not only are they hardy and resilient, but they also support soil life, insects, and songbirds. In this episode, your hosts (David and Kris) will interview Chris & Christie Leibner from Wild Garden Co. Chris and Christie specialize in Florida native plants and garden design, and have served many families in Central Florida by integrating natives into the food forest and home landscape.
This episode will focus on each of our favorite “native forward” plants that we suggest people integrate into their food systems. So, if you are looking for our favorite recommendations – this episode will give you plenty. This episode will cover some powerhouse natives spanning multiple layers of the food forest, including top story trees, bushes, flowering plants, vines, and more! Get ready to take notes, because you might learn about a new plant or two to add to your shopping list.
