The Reformation of a Bad Naturalist

In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we talk with Paula Whyman, author of Bad Naturalist*, about her ecological education on a wild Virginia mountaintop. The plant profile is on Treasure Flower and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events in the What's New segment. We close out with the Last Word on 2025 Garden Resolutions from Christy Page of Green Prints.
