On Episode 10 of the Garden Revival BBQ, IG, SpaceButler, Zappy and Passi are back together, talking about spooky, goth and phantasmagoric plants and garden decor that wouldn’t be out of place any time of year. We fantasize about designing an Addams Family garden and make you pray smellavision never comes to fruition. From ground covers to trees and houseplants, from beautiful to vile — there’s something for everyone to adore or eschew. We wrap up the episode with answers to the audience’s big burning questions and ponder our own questions, like, does durian taste how amorphophallus smells?
On Episode 9 of the Garden Revival BBQ, IG talks to Jason Croutch from Fraser Valley Rose Farm. She tries to ask him everything anyone ever wanted to know about roses but eventually has to let him go. Jason talks about the history of rose breeding, the subjectivity of rose classification, the best of old garden roses and standouts in modern rose breeding. Then, Jason shares his rose care schedule and answers the audience’s big burning questions about zone pushing, best David Austins for cut flowers, where to buy roses online, rose varieties for lazy gardeners and more. No one stumps him but one question is asked that Jason’s never heard before.
In Episode 8 of the Garden Revival BBQ, IG, SpaceButler and Zappy chat with the always inspiring Erin Schanen, The Impatient Gardener. Erin shares the question gardeners ask her the most, what ornamental plant is the star of her vegetable garden and that she’s “an unmitigated plant toucher.” We talk about the little black dress of flowers, give our respects to balls in the garden and talk about other nice bloomers. Then, we answer our audience’s big burning questions and Erin imparts a lesson she wishes she had learned sooner.
In part 2 of episode 7 of the Garden Revival BBQ, Passi and IG are joined by Brad of Garden Evolution to answer gardeners’ big burning questions. We talk about what heat does to plants, responsible herbicide usage, acidic foods in vermicomposting, bogus sources of gardening information and sources we love. We disagree on whether gardening is competitive, solve garden riddles and enjoy SB’s Borat impression.
In part one of episode 7 of the Garden Revival BBQ, IG, Passi and SpaceButler welcome Coneflower King Brad Johnson of Garden Evolution. We learn about the gateway plant that got Brad into gardening and chat about the changes happening in his garden now. Then, we discuss the importance of vertical elements in small gardens when the footprint is limited but vertical space is plentiful. We talk about small and fastigiate trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants that can fill the void between the ground and the sky. We find out that Brad doesn’t like naked tree legs, that everyone loves yew and exactly how many varieties of echinacea are in Brad’s garden.
In part 2 of episode 6 of the Garden Revival BBQ, Passi, Zappy and IG answer gardeners’ big burning questions. We talk about plants’ circadian rhythms, improving clay soil, plants that have botanists bewildered and whether plants like sugar as much as IG does. Zappy explains rose replant disease and Passi names the plant he has no upper price limit for buying. The audience faces off against IG’s garden riddles and mention of potatoes is shoehorned at the end.
In part 1 of episode 6 of the Garden Revival BBQ, Passi, Zappy and IG geek out over some favorite foliage plants and some real stinkers like a tomato that smells like burning rubber. Zappy talks about edible Jurassic Park plants and pops outside to taste her groundcover. IG gushes about a foliage plant that comes in more “flavors” than an iMac G3 and realizes that she has no future in standup as all her jokes bomb. We reminisce about our stinging nettle adventures, ooh and ahh over foliage that looks like a taffeta prom dress. There’s a misunderstanding about cow tipping and Passi tries to hijack the episode with begonia talk.
In episode 5 of the Garden Revival BBQ, Zappy, Passi, IG and SpaceButler discuss dumpster diving for orchids and goat moats. Passi insists variegation is just like a skin mole. IG admits to horrendous seed storage methods and Zappy one-ups her with even more egregious seed abuse practices. Passi talks about the weird things plants do that could inspire some scary sci-fi movies and shares the delightfully Canadian food habits from back in his college days. Then we all reveal our desert island plant picks, the audience chimes in and SpaceButler wins with the best answer, even though it’s not a contest.
In the second part of our episode on garden design with special guest Caleb Melchior, we answer the audience's Big Burning Questions. Opinions on DIY pondscaping are shared and we reject the annual/perennial dichotomy, address potato and sweet potato tuber woes as well as concerns about aluminum toxicity in soil. We then cap off the episode with garden riddles.
In part 1 of episode 4 of the Garden Revival BBQ, IG talks to Landscape Architect Caleb Melchior about design school, his career and his profession. Caleb offers insights on plant communities, how to start a landscape design project, balancing “cues to care” and ecologically friendly plantings, beginner mistakes and just having fun with it.
On this episode of the Garden Revival BBQ, IG interviews horticulturist and garden writer Joseph Tychonievich, then Joseph joins Zappy and Passi to answer big burning questions. We talk about where to get unusual plant seeds, why we all need a second fridge, keeping it moist for cactus babies and faster germination through chemistry.
In this episode of the Garden Revival BBQ, Passi and Zappy answer more burning questions. We talk about the difference between bark and wood chips, why GMOs aren’t evil, and praise the mighty potato. Live audience puzzles out garden riddles and Passi shares some feelings about TikTok.
