Episode 250: Homegrown with Bonnie Plants

On this special reprise episode of The Farm Report, host Erin Fairbanks has Sydney Phelps on the line from our friends at Bonnie Plants chatting about their free app, Homegrown with Bonnie Plants. Ideal for new gardeners, the app provides in-depth information on topics like container gardening, fertilizing, and what to do in a drought (like what California customers are experiencing) that can steer you to having a fruitful and tasty garden. With 65 locations across the country, Sydney explains that when you’re dealing with Bonnie Plants, their products are grown suited for the conditions in which the consumer lives and are heartier with attention to what customers want from region to region across the country. Touching upon many topics to inspire green thumbs everywhere, this is a conversation not to be missed as summer approaches!
