    'Plant This, Not That' with Elise Howard - A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach - March 16, 2026
    2026/03/13
    You’ve seen and heard the list of no-no plants that were showy longtime nursery and garden standards, but have proven invasive and need to go. Yes, we can yank out the Bradford pears and butterfly bush and the rest of the long list—and should. But then what? We need to know what to plant instead. A new book called “Plant This, Not That” by Elise Howard establishes some basic principles for selecting and using native plants, along with specific examples of substitutions for plants you may be wanting to replace. She’s here to talk us through some of her suggestions... Read More ›

  • Tomatoes With Craig LeHoullier-A Way to Garden With Margaret Roach February 28, 2022

    Tomatoes With Craig LeHoullier-A Way to Garden With Margaret Roach February 28, 2022
    2022/02/26

    Sick of winter? What I find helps, besides the occasional warmish, sunny day, is thinking about tomatoes. And that's what we're going to do today with Craig LeHoullier, author of the hit 2014 book “Epic Tomatoes,” who has over the years grown some 3,000 varieties in his home garden and adds new ones to his list every year

    Craig, who gardens in North Carolina, is a retired chemist with a longtime passion for tomatoes. He's the co-founder of the Dwarf Tomato Project, an advisor on tomatoes to Seed Savers Exchange, and the person who in 1990 named the popular heirloom Cherokee Purple from seed that had been passed down and eventually made its way to him.

    Let's Get Out and Botanize - A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach - March 9, 2026
    2026/03/06
    When spring approaches and we get out into the garden again, it’s easy to get distracted by the to-do list, or just by the latest pretty thing that’s emerging after winter’s relative blank slate. But there’s a whole other layer there in front of our eyes (and ears, and noses) – and it’s actually the foundation layer of life. How about we gardeners learn to tune in not just to the horticulture happenings outside, but to the wonders of botany unfolding before us? Today’s guests, Ben Goulet-Scott and Jacob Suissa, encourage us to follow our curiosity, to look closely, and... Read More ›

    The Weedy Garden with Margaret Renkl - A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach - March 2, 2026
    2026/02/27
    Margaret Renkl’s newest book “The Weedy Garden: A Happy Habitat for Wild Friends,” is aimed at children, but it’s really for everyone, she says, and indeed we grownups, too, often need a reminder that our gardens are not just “our gardens,” but critical habitats for our wild neighbors. How we manage these spaces determines whether bees and butterflies and frogs and fireflies and turtles and birds and everybody else out there thrives—or not. Margaret is here to talk about the new book and the message for humans of all ages that guides her approach to gardening. Like many readers, I... Read More ›

    Seed-Starting Mixes with Joe Lamp'l - A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach - Feb. 23, 2026
    2026/02/20
    When growing from seed, the long list of decisions starts with what turns out to be the simplest question of all: which variety of bean (or tomato, or zinnia, or basil) to order. But then things get more complicated: questions like figuring out when to start what, and whether any of your choices need any special pre-treatment, or particular conditions to insure germination—including: what germinating medium shall you use? We’ve all heard the invocation to use less peat, the standard for seed starting for what feels like forever until relatively recently, when this nonrenewable resource has been under scrutiny…but what...

    2021/08/20
    Maybe you, like I do, have certain perennial beds that could use editing and some particular plants that need dividing in the process. That’s just one focus of today’s guest, Toshi Yano, in his role as director of horticulture at Wethersfield, a former private estate turned public garden in the Hudson Valley of New York, He’ll tell us the how-to, and also about visiting this special place.  Toshi Yano Toshi is in his third year as director of horticulture at the former estate called Wethersfield garden in Dutchess County, New York, with its 3-acre formal gardens plus 7 acres of wilderness garden and commanding views of the Catskills and Berkshire Mountains.  Toshi and his team are bringing the gardens back to life, and he told me about the place, and specifically about the tasks of editing and dividing that every perennial gardener needs to do, whatever their garden scale.

    Homegrown Spices with Sarah Kleeger – A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach – Feb. 16, 2026
    2026/02/13
    What do you say we explore expanding our herb-gardening efforts to include some goodies to fill those jars in the spice rack, too? Most of us have probably grown cilantro, for instance, with its distinctive-tasting bright green foliage, but I suspect few of us have harvested coriander seed—the other possible crop that same species of plant can yield. Today’s guest, Sarah Kleeger of Adaptive Seeds, has been adding coriander and various other spice-rack possibilities to her garden and farm and seed catalog— like anise and caraway and more—all plants that are also ornamental and beloved by the creatures she calls...
