Good morning and happy May from all of us here at Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem!  Our guest this morning is Ben Bloom of Bloom's Wholesale Nursery -- a growing nursery supplying high-quality locally-oriented plants to non-box-store local nurseries throughout the Bay Area.  Ben is from the second generation of Blooms running the nursery, and has developed a passion for native plants, which are a sub-specialty. 

Edie and Ben spent the hour discussing not only the ins and outs of being a "nursery brat," growing up around plant operations; they know many of the same people - but also the many options for garden and landscaping plants we have here in the Bay Area, what some of the factors are in choosing the right ones to grow, together they unfurled some of the myths around using Native plants in your landscape.

This podcast reproduces the original radio broadcast of the show on Sunday morning; the show is heard live on KSFO 810 from 9 until 10 each Sunday in the San Francisco Bay Area, and worldwide on KSFO.com.  This podcast edition has been lightly pruned to remove musical content and most adverts.

Here we are with another edition of Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem!  Todays' show featured recorded audio that Edie brought back from a visit to the Sonoma Botanical Gardens in Glen Ellen; in addition to their usual and extensive collection of plants, there are currently sculptures on display by Oaxacan artists Maria and Jacobo Angeles - the Spirit Guides exhibit will be up through Sept. 7; inspired by the Zapotec calendar, the exhibition includes eight large-scale works organized by Denver Botanic Gardens.  Edie and Kristine Lindh from Sonoma Botanical Gardens gave us a brief audio tour of the colorful sculptures on display among the gardens.  Following this, we took calls and Edie dispensed gardening advice for Bay Area gardeners this spring.

This podcast represents a replay of the original radio show on the air live; musical interludes and the bulk of the ads have been edited out.  Our show can be heard live on 810 AM in San Francisco, and at KSFO.com on Sundays, 9:00 local time.

Here we are, In The Garden with Edie Tanem, on a lovely warmish Saturday in mid April.  We took calls, talked about current gardening events and opportunities, followed up on a few emails, and took some calls from the live audience.  This podcast reflects the original broadcast, with most of the ads and all of the music edited out, as per policy.  Otherwise, this is organic gardening radio at its' finest!
