Peace, Love, and Pollinators 🐝
Welcome to Peace, Love & Pollinators — a podcast by ReEarth Solutions
This is the show for anyone who wants a more beautiful yard and a healthier planet. Whether you’ve got a backyard, a balcony, or you just care about the green spaces in your neighborhood, we’ll help you see what’s possible when you work with nature instead of against it.
Each episode blends practical, feel-good advice with the bigger “why it matters.” We’re talking native plants, pollinators, soil life, compost, climate-resilient gardening, and the small changes that create outsized impact — for your landscape, your community, and the living world around you.
With expert guests from across the country, we break down what actually works, bust common myths, and give you simple next steps you can use right away.
Think of us as your friendly guide from “I just want my plants to live” to “I’m building a thriving ecosystem.”
Welcome to Peace, Love & Pollinators. Let’s grow something better.

We discuss Meadow creation and break dow the process of meadow installation with Nick Novick. Nick Novick (Small Planet Landscaping) has been building healthier landscapes in and around Ashland, Massachusetts for more than two decades. With a degree in Environmental Conservation and a deep bench of hands-on field skills, Nick has done it all, from dry stone walls and lawn care to invasive plant control and fruit-tree care. But these days, nearly all of his work centers on one thing: meadows, and how to create them in a way that actually lasts.
Nick also brings serious community and education chops to the table. He served on the Ecological Landscape Alliance board and edited the ELA newsletter for about seven years, and he supervised the original installation of the Washington Tower meadow at Mount Auburn Cemetery, along with other projects on site. With multiple land-care certificates and years of speaking at conferences and workshops, Nick is equal parts practitioner, teacher, and collaborator, always open to teaming up with other eco-minded people who want to move the work forward.
