Cultivating PlaceConversations on Natural History and the Human Impulse to Garden Author: Jennifer Jewell / Cultivating Place
Gardens are more than collections of plants. Gardens and Gardeners are intersectional spaces and agents for positive change in our world. Cultivating Place: Conversations on Natural History and the Human Impulse to Garden is a weekly public radio program & podcast exploring what we mean when we garden. Through thoughtful conversations with growers, gardeners, naturalists, scientists, artists and thinkers, Cultivating Place illustrates the many ways in which gardens are integral to our natural and cultural literacy. These conversations celebrate how these interconnections support the places we cultivate, how they nourish our bodies, and feed our spirits. Take a listen.

REALLY ROSES, with Robin Jennings of Oregon-based Heirloom (Roses)
Thursday, 30 April, 2026
Roses are one of those topics in the garden world: they can be polarizing or energizing. And yet, given that there are roses native to most environments of North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, and humans have revered this family and genus and the hundreds of rose species for millennia, they can also be connective tissue for so much–generationally, culturally, environmentally, medicinally, and certainly, aesthetically. So do you love 'em, do you hate ‘em? Do you think they’re fussy, or old-school? Maybe. But in so many ways, they are a real deal OG garden staple. From beautiful flowers, medicinal natures, habitat value galore, Robin Jennings of Heirloom – formerly known as Heirloom Roses – joins us this week to share her belief that roses really are the way.
