Description

This week we hear from Christian Douglas, an award-winning garden and landscape designer who takes a food-forward approach to outdoor spaces. Christian is known for a luxury aesthetic that is also functional, bringing edible plants into the fold in a modern way, alongside traditional and timeless landscape design. We touch on how to replicate this food-centric plant strategy, his influence by permaculture and regenerative practices, as well as his time living in the UK. Christian touches on his favorite plants to use, and some tips for where to start in your own edible designs.

The Garden Culture Podcast is more than just a how-to garden podcast, this is a place where we let the garden inspire our lives, as well as get to know incredible people who infuse their own lives with the magic of nature and gardening. Follow along as we talk about what to do in the garden each month and interview interesting people who weave gardening into their lives. Our host, Bailey Van Tassel, is a home gardener and the founder of a national gardening club. Her goal is to get more people gardening, especially in suburbia and small spaces, as she has. Bailey's mission is to make gardening an American pastime and a part of our innate culture. Her hope is to have more families raise their kids with a reverence for nature and an instinct for growing their own food and flowers.
