Bailey Van Tassel interviews Steven Hoffen, a high-schooler who started a hydroponics non-profit that feeds over 33,000 people yearly in underserved populations. Steven went to Isreal in seventh grade and was inspired to make a film about women coming together to grow their own food with hydroponics. That quickly turned into his pursuit of using hydroponic systems to help people who are incarcerated, the elderly, and asylum seekers. Steven was named a CNN Hero and is on his way to creating something immensely dynamic, all with the power of food. He shares about what his towers do, how they work, and what his mission is.

Bailey Van Tassel interviews author and journalist Simon Parkin about his book, The Forbidden Garden - The Botanists of Besieged Leningrad and Their Impossible Choice. Bailey recommends this as one of her favorite books, as it is wildly important in modern times to understand the importance of seeds and their ultimate fragility. Parkin talks about how he came to find this story and the importance of telling it. There are a few spoilers in the interview, but not many. Parkin shares his exploration of this question: should the botanists in charge of the world's first seed bank use the seeds to feed people amidst starvation and a harsh winter, or do they stick to their pledge of saving the seeds for the sake of humanity's future, and scientific progress in finding better ways to grow invaluable crops?
Listen in to hear more about the telling of this story and what we can learn from it.

This discussion is one of my favorites to date! The truth about seeds is that they are not all created equal. In fact, where they come from is quite important. Anne Fletcher of Orta Kitchen Gardens joins us and tells her story of creating beautiful seed-starting pots after killing so many of her plants. Anne is a self-proclaimed unnatural green thumb with ADHD who wanted to start her own seeds and needed a more hands-off solution. She shares the journey to founding Orta Kitchen Garden, as well as the importance of the history of seeds. What was once a local and diverse system is now a consolidation of just a few big companies with few options. Anne educates us on the difference between hybrid seeds and heirloom seeds, and which we really need to support. She digs into seed saving and how every gardener can benefit from that experience.
Anne shares some of her favorite heirloom seed companies as well as her tips for keeping seedlings alive - this is the best dive into the world of seeds and is really a fantastic resource for all gardeners.
Seed Companies mentioned:
Strictly Medicinal
Feral Heart Farm
Redwood Seeds
Living Seed
Adaptive Seed
Wild Garden Seed
Fedco
