Hello! After an extended hiatus, we’re back and ready to bring you some amazing new episodes of the Encyclopedia Botanica Podcast!

HOW TO LISTEN:

• Subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or any of your favorite podcast players to have new episodes sent directly to your device.

• Listen right now in your browser by clicking above.

Important show updates:

• Colin McCrate, founder of the Seattle Urban Farm Co., author of 3 great gardening books, and garden writer for the Seattle Times, will be co-hosting this season!

• As in past seasons, we’ll also be bringing in guest experts to help us answer your questions and to offer their unique perspective on the topic!

• In this season we’ll be addressing topics selected by you! The format will actually be pretty similar to the way it has been in season’s past, where we spend the entire episode on a deep dive into a gardening topic, but we’ll wrap the discussion up by answering the listeners question! So, starting now please email your garden questions or topics you’d like us to cover to our new dedicated email address: eb@seattleurbanfarmco.com

• To keep a more manageable schedule, we’re going to be breaking up the podcast into smaller, mini-seasons of 6 episodes each. We’re planning to release our first set later this fall and then more mini-seasons through the winter and into next spring and summer. 

• The survey…! In order to keep making this podcast, we need your support. In the past, we had some incredible Patreon and Kickstarter contributors - thank you 1000x to any past contributors who may be listening, you are amazing!!! However, going forward, we think it’ll be more manageable to take advantage of the ads platform our hosting service provides to help make this podcast sustainable. The only thing we need is for some of you wonderful listeners is to take a quick survey for our podcast hosting platform. This survey should only take about 30 seconds and will help make it possible for us to continue start creating episodes again.

In addition to a new season of the podcast, we also have a new book coming out soon called “Grow More Food.” It’s a revised version of our earlier book “High-Yield Vegetable Gardening” but with over 200 new photos, updated illustrations and loads of new information, it’s available for preorder now everywhere you buy books online.
