In this episode I talk with Alisa Ellie, the founder and lead floral designer behind Malva & Moss, a floral design studio based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I loved our conversation so much. Alisa said, "Florals don't just decorate, they narrate a story about a space, a brand, or a person." I completely agree! I admire Alisa's rebellious design style where she uses the whole stem, includes sculptural pieces and makes genuine pieces of art. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Let it inspire you to create floral designs that are unique to your personality, your story and your space.

In this podcast I interviewed Wanpen and Miguel Ordonez. They have been married for 39 wonderful years. They demonstrate how it takes teamwork to make a garden thrive. Both Wanpen and Miguel grew up gardening - Wanpen in a small village in Northern Thailand and Miguel in New York.

Listen to hear what is growing in their garden, how they build their garden fence and irrigate using rainwater only. Enjoy this great conversation. This will inspire you to bring nutrients into your soil, build hot boxes to grow lettuce through the winter and cook using the fresh herbs and veggies from your garden!
