Description

Our interview with Dan Furman of Cricket Hill Garden, a specialty plant nursery based in Thomaston, Connecticut that specializes in uncommon edible tree crops and ornamental tree peonies. Way back in the Spring of 2021, I stopped by Dan's nursery on a random Wednesday to inquire about some mulberry scion. I was absolutely blown away by the diversity of his demonstration garden. At least in my experience, it's pretty rare to find multi grafted paw paws and espalier grown mulberry only 20 feet away from one another in a designed landscape. That was when I knew we had to have Dan on the podcast, and luckily we were able to make it happen! This episode was recorded in December of 2021, in it we reference Lee Reich's book "Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden" which is a fantastic resource that we highly recommend acquiring if you want to learn more about the plants we talk about in this episode. Find Dan at https://www.treepeony.com/, and don't forget to follow us on our Instagram @forestgardenpodcast!
