Into the Heart of the Garden with Maria Rodale

In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we talk with Maria Rodale, author of Love, Nature, Magic: Shamanic Journeys into the Heart of My Garden. The plant profile is on Northern Spicebush and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events in the What's New segment. We close out with Dr. Allan Armitage, who shares the Last Word on Sun- or Shade-loving Plants.
