From away to garden.com and Robinhood Radio.com, this is Away to Garden with Margaret

Roach.

You're a weekly invitation to dig in and grow.

Plants tell the story of a place, sales field botanist and native plant nursery owner,

Jared Rosenbaum.

If you want to be rooted on the earth you live on,

you can look to plants to interpret that story. With his friend, a filmmaker named Jared Flesher,

aka the other Jared, Jared Rosenbaum creates what they call funky but highly cinematic five-minute

videos about the ecology of wild plants. The second season of their series titled Ruedit is debuting on YouTube September 15th,

with a video on none other than the eastern prickly pear cactus.

The only hardy cactus of the region.

Jared the botanist is here today to tell us about it and about some other native plant

stories, but first these messages.
