This is episode #35. Today, I am introducing you to Stephanie Rose. Stephanie is the founder of the popular website GardenTherapy.ca, which includes gardening and permaculture advice, information and projects. She’s an award-winning author and a student and teacher of organic gardening and permaculture, who aims to encourage better living through plants. This conversation will get you inspired for springtime, share practical tips for garden landscapes and focus on Stephanie’s most recent book, The Regenerative Garden: 80 Practical Projects for Creating a Self-sustaining Garden Ecosystem. I am so excited to introduce you to the experience and natural vibe Stephanie cultivates, so stick around while we dive into practical permaculture with Stephanie Rose.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
- A little background on Stephanie. Her journey through a disability and how gardening reconnected her to a positive healing journey and her own abilities.
- All about her journey of becoming a master gardener, an herbalist, a certified permaculture designer, and a well-written author.
- The science of how gardening is done and how to make it practical for the everyday gardener.
- You don’t need to know everything about everything, it is more important knowing how to plug into or create a strong regenerative landscape community and seek quality information and resources.
- Some ideas for watering systems, composting and some general examples of how to get started with regenerative gardening.
- Transition Ethic within permaculture. The goal is to continually move in a better direction, toward sustainability and regeneration… and not be hard on yourself for not being able to do everything perfectly.
- Three actionable steps: 1. Get Stephanie’s newest book. 2. Pay attention to soil health. 3. Focus on community, both the wildlife/environment and the people in our circles.
- Butterfly pathway!! What a fun idea!
