Being in Conversation with the Natural World feat. Alex Sujong Laughlin

Oh, I Like That

Writer and audio producer Alex Sujong Laughlin is here to guest co-host and we’re talking about hobbies where you grow and make things. We went deep thinking about why some people are drawn to these activities while others (Sally!) are not. Also, Alex shares a bunch of great tips for getting into gardening, composting for beginners and experts, and tons of (non-gardening) ways to be less extractive in your relationship with food and the earth.
