#17 The Doug Oster Episode

This week the girls mix dry humor and deep honesty with Doug Oster, Emmy award-winning garden broadcaster & author from Pittsburgh. This, unbeknownst to Marianne, makes him a Yinzer — and that does not mean he enjoys a Yingling from time to time.For years, on television, radio, newspapers and social media, Doug has been an outspoken champion for organic gardening, and for the passion and personality of ordinary gardeners and the gardens they tend. They'll discuss the importance of independent garden centers in helping to cultivate that personal touch, and dip into the changing demographics of gardeners across the nation from the perspective of three gardeners who have WAY too much dirt under their fingernails. They’ll also touch on how garden media has changed, and which changes feel embraceable. (Hint: Leslie’s embracing everything.)Join them as they go deep and sometimes a little dark — because killing the deer that just wiped out your lilies is going to leave you in a Game of Thrones frame of mind.Deer. It’s what’s for dinner. At least at Marianne’s._______________________________________Be sure to hit the subscribe button so we can keep you smiling while you hit the mess [your garden] out there.⁠⁠⁠The Garden Mixer |Podcast on Spotify⁠⁠⁠Full Show Notes at ⁠⁠⁠The Garden Mixer Podcast’s Substack⁠⁠⁠________________________________Socials – Pick Your Platform:Follow us on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@thegardenmixer⁠⁠⁠Indulge us on TikTok ⁠⁠⁠@the.garden.mixer⁠⁠⁠ Spar with us on X ⁠⁠⁠@gardenmixerpod⁠⁠⁠“French Bistro” theme by Adieu Adieu.
