Description

In this episode, Jana sits down with horticulturist, educator, and gardening soul sister Sheriden Hansen to talk all things edible gardening — from planting and pruning fruit trees to the best varieties of garlic and tomatoes.

Sheriden is a former tenured professor for Utah State University Extension, where she taught hundreds of horticulture classes across the state. With a background in both horticulture and health, she brings a deep understanding of plant science and real-life gardening strategies that work in Utah’s unique climate.

We cover:

  • Why pruning starts on day one

  • The truth about eggshells and blossom end rot

  • Creating a garden that gives back every day

  • Her favorite heirloom tomato and garlic varieties

  • Trellising tips for berries and raised beds

  • Why gardening is her love language — and how she brings her family into it

This episode is full of wisdom, laughter, and actionable tips. Whether you’re planting your first fruit tree or just need a reminder to stop and be in your garden, you’re going to love it.
