Season Two Episode Six: Gentle Gardening on Limited Spoons with Erin Alladin

Erin Alladin’s new e-book “Gentle Gardening: A Guide for Uncooperative Bodies” is transformative, specifically covering the issues of gardening with chronic fatigue and the other complex disabilities that can accompany it, and reframing gardening as an accessible and fun activity. Ariel talks to Erin in this episode about her journey with gardening to where she is now, the book, a bit about gardening on Turtle Island as a settler, and tackling the gardener’s mindset and impostor syndrome that may come with it.

Last big harvest of the season from the balcony "salad bowl," starring: beets, beet greens, and the rainbow chard buried underneath it all. Will probably sauté the greens tonight to accompany some pumpkin gnocchi + a sage brown-butter sauce.
