Settle in and spend some time with "Plantrepreneur" Colah B. Tawkin on her podcast Black in the Garden. Described as an "intersection of Black Culture and horticulture," the show seeks to create space for diverse voices in the gardening world. Tawkin's selects episode topics that "directly influence and impact Black plant keepers as we blackily impact and influence the world." These topics include authentic business practices, plant styling, and Black liberation. Readers may especially enjoy the May 12, 2020 episode, "5 Survival Lessons from our Plants," which contains wisdom stemming from horticulture during a pandemic. As of this write-up, more than 30 episodes (of various lengths) have been released and listeners can find them on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Radio Public, among other platforms. Looking for additional content from Tawkin? Find her on Instagram, @blackinthegarden. Posts include teasers and highlights from shows, as well as bonus content and (of course) some great plant photographs.
