[0:55] Speaker 3: need to learn. It's also the author of a book
[0:58] Speaker 3: that is one of my favorite book covers. You should
[1:00] Speaker 3: check this out.
[1:01] Speaker 2: I love the name of it.
[1:02] Speaker 3: It's called You Grow Girl, Plant Queen's lush Guide to
[1:06] Speaker 3: Growing your Garden. So, without further ado, let me welcome
[1:10] Speaker 3: Sophia and Christopher.
[1:11] Speaker 2: Come on up.
[1:17] Speaker 1: Hi everyone, you all look so cute. You looks so cute, guys.
[1:26] Speaker 1: I'm so happy to be here. Anyone who knows me,
[1:30] Speaker 1: like some of my dearest in the front, know that
[1:34] Speaker 1: I sort of still can't believe, which I know is crazy.
[1:37] Speaker 1: I started this podcast in twenty nineteen, like, girl, get
[1:39] Speaker 1: over it, you have one. But I still kind of
[1:41] Speaker 1: can't believe that this is my job because basically I
[1:45] Speaker 1: just bamboozled everyone into letting me work doing the thing
[1:50] Speaker 1: I like to do the most, which is meet fabulous
[1:53] Speaker 1: people and ask them interesting questions. So I owe a
[1:56] Speaker 1: very big thank you to my team at iHeart for
[2:00] Speaker 1: continuing to let me nerd out in literally every department,
[2:04] Speaker 1: including plants. It's kind of the privilege of my life.
[2:09] Speaker 1: And I'm really really thrilled that we are launching a
[2:12] Speaker 1: new partnership with Miracle Grow. I sort of feel like
[2:15] Speaker 1: at this point, like branded content partnerships, everyone's just like
[2:18] Speaker 1: kill me now, And then sometimes they happen in ways
[2:23] Speaker 1: that you're like, well that was great. Also, this is chic.
[2:27] Speaker 1: I'm like, where did these plants come from? I'm kidding.
[2:29] Speaker 1: I met the team upstairs. They're unbelievable. But really we're
[2:33] Speaker 1: very lucky to kind of be in this moment where
[2:36] Speaker 1: I think the overwhelm of content in a way has
[2:39] Speaker 1: made people really want to make sure they actually vibe
[2:45] Speaker 1: and then nights like tonight get to happen. So thank
[2:48] Speaker 1: you all for letting me pretend this is work. What
[2:51] Speaker 1: like it's hard. One of the things that you have inspired.
[2:56] Speaker 1: I promise I'm gonna ask you questions soon. I'm long
[2:58] Speaker 1: winded people. Plus I have to tell you guys. Christopher
[3:04] Speaker 1: and I met in my backyard in twenty twenty two
[3:07] Speaker 1: and within five minutes, the whole video team that it
[3:10] Speaker 1: come was like, could you too shut up? Like we
[3:12] Speaker 1: were just on one truly one of my favorite souls.
[3:17] Speaker 1: But one of the things that you do that particularly well,
[3:21] Speaker 1: that I particularly love is that you remind people that
[3:25] Speaker 1: you don't need like a massive outdoor space. You can
[3:30] Speaker 1: start with a few square feet, oh square foot if
[3:34] Speaker 1: you will. And I don't know if you all are
[3:36] Speaker 1: like me, but sometimes I get lost in the rabbit
[3:38] Speaker 1: hole of Pinterest and the el decor world and fabulous goals.
[3:43] Speaker 1: But I think like, unless I have Martha Stewart's Bedford estate,
[3:47] Speaker 1: I can't possibly have a garden. And that is not
[3:49] Speaker 1: at current my reality. Though I love her and your
[3:53] Speaker 1: work and our wonderful sponsors tonight. Really, I think do
[3:58] Speaker 1: such a good job at reminding people, well, you can
[4:00] Speaker 1: start small, you can experiment, you can learn your green thumb.
[4:05] Speaker 1: If you have a plant diet, it's not your fault.
[4:07] Speaker 1: Maybe they just said that to me, but really you can.
[4:10] Speaker 1: You can cultivate a love of a hobby the way
[4:13] Speaker 1: you can cultivate a garden. So thank you to Miracle
[4:17] Speaker 1: Grow for reminding me I don't have to be Martha
[4:20] Speaker 1: and all of you can go to miracle grow dot
[4:21] Speaker 1: com to check out all of their very easy to
[4:24] Speaker 1: use products. We'll talk about those later, but start a
[4:26] Speaker 1: growth journey please. It really is great. Now now I'm
[4:31] Speaker 1: going to just ask you all the things you've heard.
[4:34] Speaker 1: Christopher is an incredible educator, author, add to Karte, Take
[4:40] Speaker 1: out your Phones, ad to Kart. Plant Queen is one
[4:45] Speaker 1: of my favorite accounts to follow on Instagram, and one
[4:50] Speaker 1: of the things that sort of gets me is that
[4:55] Speaker 1: you bring unbridled joys exactly who you are are to
[5:01] Speaker 1: the world, which knocked my socks off half a decade ago,
[5:06] Speaker 1: but especially in a moment I think where individualism, queer joy,
[5:13] Speaker 1: black boy joy is not exactly being lauded in the
[5:17] Speaker 1: way it should. You are like, honey, you can't stop me.
[5:22] Speaker 1: And so I'm really curious because you talk a lot
[5:26] Speaker 1: about who you are, who you've always been. You give
[5:32] Speaker 1: joy as resistance and fuel and this sort of relentless
[5:37] Speaker 1: happiness in a way that I think feeds everyone who
[5:41] Speaker 1: follows you. And I wonder if you got to interact
[5:46] Speaker 1: with the little black boy you used to be, like
[5:50] Speaker 1: Christopher at eight years old today, Like, if he were
[5:53] Speaker 1: in the garden, would you see yourself in him? Do
[5:56] Speaker 1: you think he would be astounded by your life that's
[5:59] Speaker 1: now his?
[6:00] Speaker 2: Yes, I'll probably like hey girl, he played Hey Girl.
[6:07] Speaker 2: I actually had some home videos digitized because I was
[6:12] Speaker 2: I'm in the process of writing a children's book and
[6:14] Speaker 2: so I friends, yes I haven't made that announcement, but yes,
[6:20] Speaker 2: I'm in the process of working on it. And my
[6:23] Speaker 2: editor really challenged me to go into my childhood, and
[6:28] Speaker 2: so I worked with my dad. My dad was always
[6:30] Speaker 2: documenting everything camcorder, just place it and kind of just
[6:35] Speaker 2: watch the family. And I'm really grateful that he did that.
[6:39] Speaker 2: And I was a flamboyant little queen. I was like, damn,
[6:44] Speaker 2: like it was beautiful to watch me just exist unapologetically
[6:52] Speaker 2: as my flamboyant self. Obviously I didn't have the term
[6:56] Speaker 2: to you know, define myself, but my family allowed me
[7:00] Speaker 2: space to explore and be playful and to just show
[7:06] Speaker 2: up in the ways that I wanted to. And so
[7:10] Speaker 2: I think we would be like best friends. Like I
[7:13] Speaker 2: really I looked at you know, those videos, and I
[7:15] Speaker 2: was like, oh, my goodness, Like I'm still the same person,
[7:19] Speaker 2: like still in front of the camera, still being playful,
[7:22] Speaker 2: still being joyful, still being flamboyant. So yeah, I think
[7:26] Speaker 2: we would be really good friends. And I think my
[7:29] Speaker 2: younger self we'd be like, yeah, this makes sense, Like
[7:32] Speaker 2: it makes a lot of sense.
[7:33] Speaker 1: I love that in any of the videos were you
[7:37] Speaker 1: were you out in nature a lot.
[7:40] Speaker 2: We did a lot of family trips, and so somewhere
[7:45] Speaker 2: of us in the park we lived. I grew up
[7:49] Speaker 2: in Philadelphia, and so some of the videos were like
[7:52] Speaker 2: on this large porch of the apartment building that we
[7:56] Speaker 2: lived in, and there were gardens in front of the
[7:59] Speaker 2: apartment fielding. I actually went back and took photos with
[8:03] Speaker 2: my dad at the apartment a few years ago, and
[8:06] Speaker 2: it was really beautiful. But yeah, I was always outside
[8:10] Speaker 2: just like frolicking around, Go frolic. We need the frolic more.
[8:13] Speaker 1: Everybody needs to get outside literally, go touch grass please please.
[8:19] Speaker 2: And I mean we're in New York City and I
[8:20] Speaker 2: do a lot of partnerships with a lot of the
[8:22] Speaker 2: green spaces here. So how many folks have heard of
[8:25] Speaker 2: the New York Restoration Project? Fuck you all right, there's
[8:30] Speaker 2: not enough hands raised? Look them up and YRP. They
[8:33] Speaker 2: stew it over fifty community gardens here called the Five Boroughs,
[8:37] Speaker 2: and they're doing such amazing work to make sure that
[8:40] Speaker 2: the city remains green. I've done work with Prospect Park,
[8:44] Speaker 2: Central Park, Botanic Garden, New York Botannic Garden. There are
[8:49] Speaker 2: a lot of green gyms here, and so I think
[8:51] Speaker 2: it's important that folks understand that we all have a
[8:54] Speaker 2: role to play. Go volunteer, go visit theth parks, lay
[8:58] Speaker 2: in the grass. It's really important we do.
[9:00] Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm curious, you know, because you mentioned growing up
[9:04] Speaker 1: in Philly, which is an iconic city much like New York.
[9:08] Speaker 1: Where did your connection to nature really start? Was it
[9:13] Speaker 1: in the apartment garden or was there somewhere in Philly
[9:16] Speaker 1: that you would go and you went, oh, this is
[9:18] Speaker 1: for me.
[9:19] Speaker 2: My grandmother Andrew Griffin, she was the original plant queen.
[9:23] Speaker 2: She's the original og plant queen. She grew up in Clayton, Georgia,
[9:30] Speaker 2: and my great grandmother's farm, and the land sheltered them,
[9:35] Speaker 2: it fed them. They had a deep appreciation for the land.
[9:39] Speaker 2: And so when she decided to bring my mother and
[9:41] Speaker 2: my uncle up to Philadelphia at the single mom there
[9:45] Speaker 2: was a program back in the day where you could
[9:47] Speaker 2: buy like a rundown house for one dollar. I wish
[9:50] Speaker 2: that program exifted today, Please bring it back. And so
[9:55] Speaker 2: she brought the house. He bought the house, and she
[9:58] Speaker 2: curated a garden for her th well, and it was
[10:01] Speaker 2: a small, little garden, nothing big. And when I was
[10:04] Speaker 2: brought into the world, I was always like a flamboyant person, right,
[10:08] Speaker 2: So even from a young age, I think my grandmother
[10:11] Speaker 2: clock like a little sugar in his teeth. He had
[10:15] Speaker 2: a lot of sugar. Baby, there was a lot of sugar. Honeys. Hello, Hello.
[10:19] Speaker 2: And so I think my grandmother understood that the world
[10:25] Speaker 2: would not yet appreciate my uniqueness, my flair. And you know,
[10:33] Speaker 2: she being a single black mother, she had to create
[10:37] Speaker 2: spaces for her own joy. And she did that through gardening,
[10:41] Speaker 2: and she's like, you know what, I think Christopher's probably
[10:45] Speaker 2: going to have to make sure, like I want Christopher
[10:48] Speaker 2: to understand that he is the agent and author of
[10:51] Speaker 2: his own joy. And so she kind of showcased to
[10:54] Speaker 2: me that gardening was the way that she found joy
[10:57] Speaker 2: and created joy for herself. And so that's how I
[10:59] Speaker 2: was introduced to plant in nature as a pathway to joy,
[11:04] Speaker 2: as a pathway to healing and is I mean, it's
[11:09] Speaker 2: grown into such a beautiful journey. So that's when it
[11:12] Speaker 2: started very young age, not for only the sake of
[11:16] Speaker 2: understanding that we all have a role to play and
[11:18] Speaker 2: tending to the land, but that also it can be
[11:21] Speaker 2: a healing and joyful relationship.
[11:26] Speaker 1: That's beautiful. Did you choose plant Queen to honor Andrea
[11:32] Speaker 1: or did it come from somewhere else as a nickname?
[11:36] Speaker 2: Yeah, so everybody know abba obviously come on now, like
[11:41] Speaker 2: come on, Dancing Queen is like one of my favorite songs.
[11:45] Speaker 2: And so I don't think I ever said this out loud.
[11:48] Speaker 2: The original name for the account was going to be
[11:51] Speaker 2: pretty plant please. I don't know where that came from
[11:53] Speaker 2: out like a literation. I'm an educator. I'm a sucker
[11:56] Speaker 2: for those things. And I was like, okay, pretty plant, please.
[11:58] Speaker 2: And then as I was saying that, I was the thing,
[12:01] Speaker 2: dance and Queen came on. I was like dancing Queen
[12:04] Speaker 2: a plant, queen flank Queen, but with a kW And
[12:09] Speaker 2: so that's how I was born.
[12:10] Speaker 1: Yeah, Abba, I love it. I love it. So can
[12:17] Speaker 1: you tell me about the first plant you bought? Before there?
[12:22] Speaker 1: I mean, if you remember before there was there ever
[12:24] Speaker 1: a moment where there were no plants in the house.
[12:28] Speaker 2: In my apartment, like in your.
[12:30] Speaker 1: First my individual home.
[12:33] Speaker 2: As you bought big girl apartment, I did not have plants.
[12:39] Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't, oh child. I think it was
[12:44] Speaker 2: like maybe like three years of living in New York.
[12:46] Speaker 2: I had moved here for grad school. You know, I
[12:49] Speaker 2: was my head was elsewhere. I was like, I got
[12:51] Speaker 2: to build a social life and all that. Yeah, and
[12:54] Speaker 2: once I got you know too. And after I had
[12:56] Speaker 2: graduated grad school, I moved to a new apartment and
[13:01] Speaker 2: it was south facing windows and the walls were just
[13:06] Speaker 2: so bare, and I was like, I gotta have some
[13:09] Speaker 2: type of life in here. And I was like, I've
[13:11] Speaker 2: graduated grad school. I'm no longer a student like I
[13:14] Speaker 2: got to find my next journey, and so I was like, Okay,
[13:16] Speaker 2: I think it's time to invest in plants. And I
[13:18] Speaker 2: think buying a plant was a very serious endeavor for
[13:23] Speaker 2: me because I knew what it did. It was just
[13:28] Speaker 2: a special relationship, right. I knew that I wanted to
[13:32] Speaker 2: make sure I was honoring my grandmother's memory by making
[13:35] Speaker 2: sure I had time to actually care for the plant.
[13:38] Speaker 2: When I was in grad school, I wouldn't be able
[13:39] Speaker 2: to care for the plant, and so I bought a
[13:40] Speaker 2: Pothos Marble Queen Pothos. I still have that plant today.
[13:44] Speaker 2: I bought that eleven years ago. She's still with me.
[13:47] Speaker 2: She's still with me. I propagated. My friend Meredith has
[13:51] Speaker 2: a cutting of the plant. We've been friends for over
[13:54] Speaker 2: a decade now, so yeah, I've propagated her and now
[13:58] Speaker 2: all my friends have like little cuttings that original plant
[14:01] Speaker 2: to kind of just spark yes journey.
[14:02] Speaker 1: That's so beautiful. I also shan't admit how many plants
[14:08] Speaker 1: I've bought and that have not survived in the last
[14:11] Speaker 1: eleven years. We don't need to talk about it. It happen.
[14:14] Speaker 2: It happened to.
[14:18] Speaker 1: Say that but our original Girly is still with us.
[14:21] Speaker 2: She's still here.
[14:22] Speaker 1: I will say I did because la is a good
[14:25] Speaker 1: climate for propagating a succulent, as we discussed in the
[14:28] Speaker 1: backyard in twenty twenty two, and you gave me a
[14:31] Speaker 1: few great tips. And if I do say so myself,
[14:33] Speaker 1: I propagated a few plants. Come on now, and I
[14:36] Speaker 1: can't explain to you how cool I felt like taking
[14:40] Speaker 1: home a chic little plant to my mom and taking
[14:43] Speaker 1: a cute little plant to one of my girlfriends for
[14:45] Speaker 1: a housewarming party. And they felt particularly great to me
[14:49] Speaker 1: because I live in a house that was lived in
[14:53] Speaker 1: previously by this fabular, fabular, fabulous. I'm fine. Older woman
[15:01] Speaker 1: named Annette. I knew her until she passed at ninety two.
[15:04] Speaker 1: She was so cool, and she used to tell me
[15:06] Speaker 1: that her and her husband would like get in a
[15:08] Speaker 1: convertible and go out to Palm Springs and watch Frank
[15:11] Speaker 1: Sinatra play jazz. And she was like, we got drunk
[15:14] Speaker 1: once and I cut some of his aloe plants in
[15:17] Speaker 1: his backyard and that's where these came from. And I
[15:20] Speaker 1: was like, you're so cool. So actually what I did
[15:25] Speaker 1: was I gave people propagated cuttings from Frank Sinatra stolen plants.
[15:29] Speaker 1: Thank you to Annette. She was my plant queen. And
[15:34] Speaker 1: it's like, weirdly, it's not an easy thing to keep
[15:38] Speaker 1: it alive, care for it, grow it, multiply it. But
[15:43] Speaker 1: it's like the simplest and most meaningful thing I think
[15:47] Speaker 1: to share with other people. Maybe because it's alive, Maybe
[15:52] Speaker 1: because if you're giving a friend or a family member
[15:55] Speaker 1: a piece of something you grew like, you really had
[15:59] Speaker 1: to love it enough to get it to be in
[16:02] Speaker 1: the place where you could share it with someone else.
[16:05] Speaker 1: Do you think that's true? Is it an energetic thing?
[16:08] Speaker 2: I think yes, it's definitely an energetic thing. I think
[16:11] Speaker 2: there is, you know, I think the reason that I
[16:15] Speaker 2: chose to be an educator, I spent over a decade
[16:19] Speaker 2: working as a college counselor, and I worked in higher education,
[16:23] Speaker 2: then I worked in tech. Oh child, I'm all in
[16:28] Speaker 2: very like you know, guidance counselor y roles, right, and
[16:32] Speaker 2: so you know, I feel like I've always had a
[16:35] Speaker 2: lot of love to give, right, And I think the
[16:39] Speaker 2: beautiful thing about when you're caring for a plant, right,
[16:44] Speaker 2: is that there's just this interaction where you're giving something
[16:48] Speaker 2: love and care and the response you would hope is growth, right.
[16:54] Speaker 2: And so it's just a very simple interaction that I
[16:57] Speaker 2: think allows folks to practice what we all need to
[17:02] Speaker 2: be better at caring for ourselves and caring for each other. Right.
[17:07] Speaker 2: And so I now have over two hundred plants in
[17:10] Speaker 2: my Brooklyn apartment and they're all doing really lovingly. And
[17:17] Speaker 2: people will be like, girl, like, how the hell you water?
[17:19] Speaker 2: I don't know. We can curse, but how in the
[17:20] Speaker 2: world do you water? Turn on your plants, and it's
[17:27] Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a little party. I brew some tea,
[17:30] Speaker 2: I put on some music. Sometimes I'll call a friend.
[17:33] Speaker 2: And I've found that my plants are a great I
[17:37] Speaker 2: call them my green Girls. I'm a big Golden Girls fan. Here,
[17:40] Speaker 2: I'm a Green Girls. They are great accountability partners. Right.
[17:44] Speaker 2: There's something that I need to tend to every week
[17:47] Speaker 2: or every two weeks, and they remind me that I
[17:50] Speaker 2: need to care for myself. They remind me that I
[17:53] Speaker 2: need to show up for the people that I love.
[17:55] Speaker 2: And so I think it's when you're in close proximity
[17:58] Speaker 2: to nature. There's so many lush lessons that we can
[18:02] Speaker 2: learn so many Lutch lessons and the whole self care
[18:06] Speaker 2: community care journey is just one aspect of it.
[18:09] Speaker 1: Right, Well, it sounds like it's very meditative.
[18:12] Speaker 2: Oh very much so.
[18:14] Speaker 1: So do you think about your plants wellness as an
[18:19] Speaker 1: extension of your own?
[18:21] Speaker 2: Oh? Yes, completely completely. I had a moment and this
[18:28] Speaker 2: was when my mother was alive. She was watching me
[18:33] Speaker 2: in my poor roommates at the time. Child o lord,
[18:37] Speaker 2: I just took up space. I was like, look y'all,
[18:39] Speaker 2: y'all have to deal with this. I'm just bringing plants
[18:41] Speaker 2: and just go with it. Go with it. It was
[18:44] Speaker 2: so kind and so, you know, it was a Sunday
[18:48] Speaker 2: and I was beginning to build a routine, you know,
[18:51] Speaker 2: spacetimeing my mom. And she was like, oh, you're building
[18:55] Speaker 2: your garden. And she wasn't talking about the garden, the physical.
[19:00] Speaker 2: Whyn't you talking about my inner garden? Right? And she
[19:02] Speaker 2: could tell that, my You could just tell I was
[19:05] Speaker 2: moving differently through the world. And so after I had
[19:09] Speaker 2: that phone call and I was like, I'm always a
[19:12] Speaker 2: very reflective person. I was like, oh, well, you know,
[19:16] Speaker 2: I need water too, I need sunshine too, I need
[19:20] Speaker 2: room to grow too, I need nutrients too. I need
[19:24] Speaker 2: to prune some yellowing lead. We all have some leads
[19:27] Speaker 2: we need to prune, y'all all right, And so you know,
[19:34] Speaker 2: I think it again. It allowed me to practice all
[19:37] Speaker 2: the various different ways that I care for myself. So
[19:40] Speaker 2: these days, honey, I have a self care and menu.
[19:43] Speaker 2: I have a bunch of options of ways I can
[19:45] Speaker 2: care for myself. What's on it?
[19:47] Speaker 1: Oh, darling, I'm like, can you give us.
[19:50] Speaker 2: I'll I mean, you know, I for me personally, I
[19:56] Speaker 2: enjoy roller skating, So I do a lot of roller
[19:58] Speaker 2: skating and a lot of stuff I do by myself.
[20:00] Speaker 2: Like I I think, you know, being with people and
[20:04] Speaker 2: letting them fill your cup. I would say for me,
[20:08] Speaker 2: that's an easier thing to do to rely on someone
[20:12] Speaker 2: else to fill your cup. A little harder when you're
[20:14] Speaker 2: doing it by yourself. Right, So I roll escape by myself.
[20:17] Speaker 2: I'll go to a random roller rink and I'll do
[20:19] Speaker 2: it by myself. I do dinners by myself, movies, I've traveled.
[20:24] Speaker 2: I just went to Sri Lanka by myself for sixteen days.
[20:28] Speaker 1: It's on his Instagram. Go look at it.
[20:29] Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh it was so much fun and
[20:33] Speaker 2: so I allow myself random little adventures and I just
[20:38] Speaker 2: kind of I'm good company with myself. I'm just I
[20:42] Speaker 2: can have a ball. Just give me a little adventure.
[20:46] Speaker 2: I'll go on my you know, on my own. It's
[20:48] Speaker 2: really fun. But those are some of the things that
[20:50] Speaker 2: I do. And then obviously, you know, I have my friends,
[20:53] Speaker 2: we have our little dates and all that jazz. But yeah,
[20:57] Speaker 2: if you haven't taken yourself out on a date, like
[21:00] Speaker 2: do it like the same thing you would do for
[21:02] Speaker 2: a romantic partner, like go all out do that ship
[21:05] Speaker 2: for yourself. It is. It's so fun. It's so fun.
[21:09] Speaker 1: Get ready, put on the outfit.
[21:11] Speaker 2: Put it on the outfit, get dressed, put on your prefume,
[21:17] Speaker 2: order the car like it's just and just treat yourself.
[21:22] Speaker 2: Bring a book if you want to. I've challenged myself
[21:24] Speaker 2: not to bring anything. And I people watch. I love
[21:28] Speaker 2: people watching. I'm nosy as well, so it lends itself.
[21:31] Speaker 1: You know, you're you're just interested, which is also why
[21:35] Speaker 1: you're interesting. I would thank you people watching is it's
[21:39] Speaker 1: just it's.
[21:40] Speaker 2: So funny little stories for people that you're watching, Oh darling,
[21:44] Speaker 2: good time.
[21:45] Speaker 1: A couple of my friends and I used to do that.
[21:48] Speaker 1: We would go out to dinner and be like okay,
[21:50] Speaker 1: and we would we would like get figure out how
[21:52] Speaker 1: to sit like last supper style, you know, everybody's face
[21:54] Speaker 1: out and be like, okay, eleven o'clock red shirt, what
[21:58] Speaker 1: do you think he does? Does this date? Like him?
[22:01] Speaker 1: Or hate him? And we would just make up stories.
[22:02] Speaker 2: For things to do in New York. I mean, come on,
[22:07] Speaker 2: there's so many interesting people here.
[22:09] Speaker 1: And now for our sponsors. When you are out, whether
[22:18] Speaker 1: with friends or on your own, do you get distracted
[22:22] Speaker 1: by plants? Like do they lose you because you're.
[22:24] Speaker 2: Like, well, look at this whatever?
[22:25] Speaker 1: In Latin this is like oh, because I'm like that, like,
[22:30] Speaker 1: don't walk a cute dog by me, I will leave
[22:32] Speaker 1: the group I'm with and be like, well, no, I
[22:34] Speaker 1: have to go pat this animal. And I know it's
[22:36] Speaker 1: a little tough, but I feel like you could be
[22:39] Speaker 1: like and all right and make a left and then
[22:41] Speaker 1: suddenly at the end of the next block, nobody knows
[22:43] Speaker 1: where you are.
[22:45] Speaker 2: I have been known to tell people who work at
[22:50] Speaker 2: Marrieth places that they need to move the plant or
[22:53] Speaker 2: if inmfestic what it needs need water? Oh, it's not
[22:58] Speaker 2: going to survive. Here, you need to repot it. I mean,
[23:03] Speaker 2: it's just like once you're in it and like you
[23:05] Speaker 2: see these things, it's hard to like not unsee these things.
[23:09] Speaker 2: I mean, I always identify the plants in any space
[23:12] Speaker 2: that I'm in just for funzies, it happened. But yes,
[23:16] Speaker 2: I've tried to dial back on giving folks directions on
[23:20] Speaker 2: the plants in their spaces. If I'm in a home
[23:23] Speaker 2: and I'm close to the friend, I will take it
[23:26] Speaker 2: upon myself to just like, Okay, I think we have
[23:29] Speaker 2: an intervention.
[23:30] Speaker 1: I love that.
[23:31] Speaker 2: I hate plant in dark bathroom. Oh my god, that's
[23:34] Speaker 2: one of the worst things you can do. If there's
[23:37] Speaker 2: no grow light. Even if there's a grow light, you
[23:40] Speaker 2: need to move that plant.
[23:42] Speaker 1: What do you think are the and I know in
[23:45] Speaker 1: the book are many tips, but are there a few
[23:48] Speaker 1: things that you think everyone at every level needs to
[23:52] Speaker 1: know about plants in their space or is that complicated?
[23:57] Speaker 1: Like I'm thinking about the checklist for eat, sample of
[24:00] Speaker 1: your self care, take yourself on a date, Like is
[24:04] Speaker 1: there a universal checklist for plants or no? Because each
[24:08] Speaker 1: diva needs her own care.
[24:10] Speaker 2: So universal checklist. I think it's important to start where
[24:14] Speaker 2: you are. I think that's, you know, the best route there.
[24:19] Speaker 2: I've tried to demystify the idea of the green thumb,
[24:25] Speaker 2: and I'll try to give you the short version of this,
[24:27] Speaker 2: just like the nature there. To me, I have to
[24:28] Speaker 2: get this out. The term green thumb had two potential origin,
[24:34] Speaker 2: all right, and when I was writing my book, I
[24:36] Speaker 2: had so much fun writing about this. One is that
[24:39] Speaker 2: there was this king of the old times where he
[24:43] Speaker 2: really enjoyed these peas when he had a subject pick
[24:47] Speaker 2: the peas. When you pick the peas that left a
[24:49] Speaker 2: green stain on your fingers, whoever picked the most peas
[24:52] Speaker 2: would be in favor of the king. So they have
[24:53] Speaker 2: green fingers or green thumbs. Means you were in favor
[24:57] Speaker 2: of the king because you most likely pick the most peas.
[25:00] Speaker 2: That later became like green thumb, green finger became you
[25:03] Speaker 2: were in good fortune. Nothing to do with taking care
[25:08] Speaker 2: of plants, mind you. The second was that horticulturalist botanists,
[25:13] Speaker 2: you know, maybe dealing with pots that have green algae
[25:15] Speaker 2: on them, it may stain their fingers. Again, nothing to
[25:19] Speaker 2: do with this instinctual knowledge that you have to have.
[25:23] Speaker 2: That the green thumb kind of lends itself to so
[25:27] Speaker 2: I tell folks, it's more like a green muscle. You
[25:29] Speaker 2: build it over time. Like all this stuff is learned.
[25:33] Speaker 2: I have a degree in psychology and a master's in
[25:35] Speaker 2: high education, and I wrote a plant book like It's
[25:39] Speaker 2: self tall, like allow yourself to be curious. Curiosity is
[25:43] Speaker 2: one of the best things that you can allow yourself
[25:47] Speaker 2: to go on when it comes to bringing nature into
[25:51] Speaker 2: your home.
[25:52] Speaker 1: Well, I mean, obviously you inspire everyone who follows you,
[25:57] Speaker 1: who reads the book. How do you think about what
[26:02] Speaker 1: you've learned, you know, the the journey to self, self care,
[26:06] Speaker 1: self love, the kind of transformation plants can offer. I
[26:11] Speaker 1: know you think about it for community. I know you
[26:13] Speaker 1: think about it for your beautiful nieces, like from this
[26:16] Speaker 1: place as the person who has this in the world
[26:20] Speaker 1: and all the things you're working on. How do you
[26:23] Speaker 1: how do you think about the next waves of your inspiration?
[26:26] Speaker 1: What's next on the journey?
[26:27] Speaker 2: Ooh, I really hope to be, you know, as an educator.
[26:34] Speaker 2: I'm a facilitator, Like I want to facilitate growth. I
[26:38] Speaker 2: want to expose folks to things that they didn't know
[26:42] Speaker 2: they needed, right, and so I am I think the future.
[26:47] Speaker 2: I'm hoping to work with a larger audience, Right, whether
[26:51] Speaker 2: that's the television show touring the various different green spaces
[26:57] Speaker 2: in the world and really showcasing all the behind the
[27:01] Speaker 2: scenes work that happens. Right, there's just so much behind
[27:05] Speaker 2: the scenes work that happens at these gardens, that happens
[27:08] Speaker 2: at these parks, and the folks who are doing this
[27:12] Speaker 2: work are often not applauded. Right. And you know something
[27:18] Speaker 2: that I'm really excited for for New York City that
[27:21] Speaker 2: I've been reading in the news. It's more funding for
[27:23] Speaker 2: New York City parks. One thing that folks may not
[27:26] Speaker 2: know is that less than one percent of the New
[27:29] Speaker 2: York City budget goes towards the maintenance of parks. Less
[27:33] Speaker 2: than one percent. And you think about I mean, I'm
[27:36] Speaker 2: sure the New York City budget is massive, but like
[27:39] Speaker 2: less than one percent. Shame, right, And so my hope
[27:44] Speaker 2: is to continue to expose folks to the wonders of
[27:49] Speaker 2: nature and understand help them understand that we all have
[27:54] Speaker 2: a role. We only have this one planet, and we
[27:57] Speaker 2: all have a role to play. We all have a
[28:00] Speaker 2: role to play. And so if I can get you
[28:02] Speaker 2: to care about the plant on your table, maybe you
[28:05] Speaker 2: care about the tree on your block. They just planted
[28:07] Speaker 2: a tree in front of my apartment with giddy for joy.
[28:10] Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, how excited is happening? Right,
[28:14] Speaker 2: you care about that tree? Maybe the part then maybe
[28:16] Speaker 2: the forest right again, Meet people where they are and
[28:20] Speaker 2: help them understand that we are all active agents in
[28:24] Speaker 2: shaping the world that we're a part of.
[28:26] Speaker 1: Yes, especially when you think about what these things do
[28:32] Speaker 1: for us. You know, the reality that plants clean our air,
[28:40] Speaker 1: like what you know, feed us, They feed us, they
[28:45] Speaker 1: enrich our lives. They're so beautiful. I mean the things
[28:48] Speaker 1: I've learned from you, even in your work with Tree Equity,
[28:52] Speaker 1: you know when you mentioned they just planted a tree
[28:54] Speaker 1: on your block, Like you know, this is joy, this
[28:59] Speaker 1: is fun. This is also education. We're like, you know,
[29:03] Speaker 1: low caate making sure people aren't getting the mess livelihood. Yes,
[29:08] Speaker 1: but like the reality is, folks, depending on where you
[29:12] Speaker 1: live in a city like this or in so many
[29:14] Speaker 1: cities around America, an affluent neighborhood is going to have
[29:19] Speaker 1: a very different landscape than a disenfranchised neighborhood. Yes, and
[29:26] Speaker 1: you know around the country you will see that black
[29:28] Speaker 1: and brown neighborhoods in particular have less trees, which makes
[29:31] Speaker 1: neighborhoods hotter, which means which also means people are more
[29:35] Speaker 1: exposed to low air quality, like all of these things. Lighting, yes, flooding,
[29:42] Speaker 1: natural disasters. I mean, we can't even talk about like
[29:44] Speaker 1: what happened during the last major rainstorm in Brooklyn. Oh my,
[29:46] Speaker 1: got like it. It's it's not just about oh yeah,
[29:51] Speaker 1: trees are nice, but the economy, gas prices. It's like no,
[29:55] Speaker 1: it's actually all connected so deeply. And and I think
[30:00] Speaker 1: for us figuring out ways to participate in community care
[30:04] Speaker 1: that are joyful. You know, I do a lot of
[30:07] Speaker 1: it that frankly isn't joyful. But I'm pissed off all
[30:10] Speaker 1: the time. So you're welcome, But like the joyful stuff.
[30:14] Speaker 1: I want to go to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden with
[30:16] Speaker 1: you and like, plant some trees. That's the best happiest
[30:20] Speaker 1: activism I will get to do this year. I'm in.
[30:24] Speaker 1: And I think that's an important thing to remind people of. Like, yes,
[30:27] Speaker 1: part of the reason we're here is because we want
[30:29] Speaker 1: you to start somewhere. Get a plant for your apartment,
[30:33] Speaker 1: if you have a little foot of earth outside, like
[30:35] Speaker 1: plant some herbs, it's spring, summer's coming. Can I ask
[30:38] Speaker 1: you some technical questions now that I'm gonna get off
[30:40] Speaker 1: my soapbox and just you know, I want I need
[30:42] Speaker 1: to know. I need to know, like what are the
[30:45] Speaker 1: must have products? And I say this again, like genuinely.
[30:50] Speaker 1: This came about not because they asked, but because I
[30:54] Speaker 1: sent my team a video of me why I'd missed
[30:57] Speaker 1: a call and I was planting things in the yard
[31:00] Speaker 1: for the bees. Everything's fine, I needed to get outside
[31:03] Speaker 1: and touch grass and I had my potting soil in
[31:06] Speaker 1: the thing, and they were like, oh, that's weird. They
[31:08] Speaker 1: just reached out to iHeart and I was like, say more,
[31:10] Speaker 1: my mom gave me this, so like I'm down. I
[31:14] Speaker 1: have the potting soil that Miracle Girl makes. There's one
[31:17] Speaker 1: for outdoor, one for indoor. You're welcome. I have this
[31:20] Speaker 1: little pair of like cool Japanese trimming shears with little
[31:25] Speaker 1: green chic. Yeah. They have like cute little green handles.
[31:28] Speaker 1: Clearly that I can't live without. Like once I got
[31:31] Speaker 1: them in my hand, my friend Jed gave them to
[31:33] Speaker 1: me and I was like, I do feel like Martha.
[31:36] Speaker 1: And now I have them on the West Coast and
[31:39] Speaker 1: the East Coast, Like I got one of the little
[31:42] Speaker 1: sprits misters for some of the plants. I don't know
[31:45] Speaker 1: if that's real or if I got got by an
[31:46] Speaker 1: Instagram ad, Like what do the people need to garden
[31:53] Speaker 1: for real?
[31:54] Speaker 2: Okay? So in terms of tools that I I mean,
[31:59] Speaker 2: you could go down an end list lists. But some
[32:01] Speaker 2: of the things that I think folks would it would
[32:03] Speaker 2: be helpful for folks to have one is a humidifier.
[32:08] Speaker 2: Humidifiers are really really important. They're also great for our
[32:11] Speaker 2: bodies as well. Right, the typical air quality or air dryness,
[32:18] Speaker 2: and the average home is quite dry, right, And a
[32:22] Speaker 2: lot of the plant that we bring into our homes
[32:23] Speaker 2: or what tropical plants, right, And the best thing that
[32:26] Speaker 2: you can do for a plant is try to mimic
[32:28] Speaker 2: the natural habitat that the plant comes from. Right. We
[32:31] Speaker 2: want to trick the plants to think they're in the rainfar.
[32:36] Speaker 2: We can't really do that because humidity leveled in the
[32:38] Speaker 2: rainforest is quite high, and we don't. We can't do
[32:42] Speaker 2: that meldew, mold and all that jazz. Humidfiers are great,
[32:47] Speaker 2: the misters, that's not humidity. But tell me however, but
[32:54] Speaker 2: you can use them to sprint the leaf and then
[32:57] Speaker 2: wipe the leaf because dusting your plant it's really really important.
[33:01] Speaker 2: You want to make sure that there's no dust collecting
[33:03] Speaker 2: because the leaves are its meal ticket and that's how
[33:05] Speaker 2: it collects sunlight. We wanted to photo sensesize and all that.
[33:08] Speaker 1: Yet wait, so if a plant gets dusty, it doesn't
[33:11] Speaker 1: get as much sunlight.
[33:12] Speaker 2: It doesn't. Yeah, so you want to make sure you're wipping,
[33:14] Speaker 2: wiping the leaves occasionally overwatering. That's how I kill some
[33:19] Speaker 2: of my plants overwatering. Right, do not water your plant
[33:23] Speaker 2: every day. Don't do it. Like when I've heard somebody
[33:27] Speaker 2: say that, I was like, ooh girl, yeah, so a
[33:31] Speaker 2: soil probe is a soil probe, that's yeah, that's the
[33:36] Speaker 2: name of the you know I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
[33:40] Speaker 2: there is.
[33:43] Speaker 1: Plants.
[33:44] Speaker 2: It's like basically a little stick that has ridges in it.
[33:48] Speaker 2: You stick it in the soil, you pull it out,
[33:50] Speaker 2: and then you can feel the moisture from the little
[33:53] Speaker 2: ridges at different levels of the pot. Oh you could
[33:56] Speaker 2: use your finger as well, right, but I have an
[33:58] Speaker 2: expensive manicure and I want to make sure that I
[34:01] Speaker 2: can maintain it so that my little soil probe. Soil
[34:04] Speaker 2: Probe's really helpful. I also talk a lot about this
[34:10] Speaker 2: in my books. So this is a wonderful tool that
[34:12] Speaker 2: you can use as well. Right there we go. Cheers
[34:16] Speaker 2: are really fun scissors. You want to make sure you're
[34:19] Speaker 2: cleaning them before you go from plant to plant. Nutrients
[34:24] Speaker 2: is really important, and so one of the tools that
[34:28] Speaker 2: I use are. One of the products I use is
[34:30] Speaker 2: Miracle Grows Plant Food all Purpose plant Food wonderful. I
[34:34] Speaker 2: use that and nitrogen potassium and n KO phosphorus. There
[34:43] Speaker 2: we go, Thank you. I was like, I'm blank, and
[34:45] Speaker 2: I was like, I know I can relate on your girl.
[34:49] Speaker 2: We won't catch up after this. Those are the three
[34:54] Speaker 2: main nutrients, key nutrients that plants need. And while you could,
[34:58] Speaker 2: you know, make your own little concoction some coffee ground,
[35:01] Speaker 2: the banana pills and all that stuff, you're probably not
[35:03] Speaker 2: going to get the recipe right. So the all purpose
[35:06] Speaker 2: plant food has all those nutrients and micronutrients in it,
[35:11] Speaker 2: and so you want to make sure that you're giving
[35:14] Speaker 2: your plant the nutrient that it needs. Water, the nutrients
[35:20] Speaker 2: in sunlight is really really important.
[35:22] Speaker 1: How do you know, because I know some plants need
[35:26] Speaker 1: some sun, some need constant. How do you know when
[35:30] Speaker 1: you're trying to figure out your plant how often to
[35:33] Speaker 1: leave it in the window and maybe when she needs
[35:35] Speaker 1: a little break.
[35:37] Speaker 2: Honestly, you trial and error. Honestly, there's no like, yeah,
[35:41] Speaker 2: there's no secret recipe. I mean when you are bringing
[35:45] Speaker 2: your plants indoors, like in a place like New York City,
[35:48] Speaker 2: I know someplace some folks lead their plants outside in
[35:51] Speaker 2: the summertime. When you are bringing them back, you do
[35:55] Speaker 2: want to try to like bring it in for a
[35:57] Speaker 2: little bit and then leap and take it back outside leclimatize. Yeah,
[36:03] Speaker 2: so you know, let it spend more time indoors and
[36:05] Speaker 2: put it back and like just time that that's really helpful.
[36:09] Speaker 2: But when you are trying to figure out the place
[36:13] Speaker 2: that you want to put your plant in, do an
[36:16] Speaker 2: assessment of your space, know the direction of your windows,
[36:19] Speaker 2: understand the kind of light, watch the sunlight. It's also
[36:22] Speaker 2: very therapeutic, like figuring out where you're going to put
[36:25] Speaker 2: your plants. When I've moved into the place that I'm
[36:27] Speaker 2: in right now, I sat in an empty place. I
[36:30] Speaker 2: ordered some pizza, and I watched the sun move through
[36:33] Speaker 2: the apartment, an empty apartment. It was like one of
[36:36] Speaker 2: the most beautiful moments I had in that space, and
[36:39] Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, cool, I know that this spot
[36:41] Speaker 2: gets this sun in this season for this amount of time,
[36:47] Speaker 2: the sun doesn't touch this spot. And so it's also
[36:51] Speaker 2: you're you're just very present, right, Don't just be like, oh,
[36:53] Speaker 2: I'm just going to go buy a plant because it
[36:55] Speaker 2: looks pretty and I want to put it there and
[36:56] Speaker 2: hopefully it does well and great, Oh dial you had
[36:58] Speaker 2: another one, like really allow yourself the journey of like, Okay,
[37:02] Speaker 2: I'm bringing a living, breathing creature into my home. Let
[37:06] Speaker 2: me be a little respectful and do a little research
[37:09] Speaker 2: on the plant, the natural habitat, the native environment it
[37:12] Speaker 2: comes from, right, and then kind of just adjust it
[37:16] Speaker 2: to your space and don't be a helicopter plant parent,
[37:19] Speaker 2: just like, let the plant do his thing. Plants are
[37:22] Speaker 2: coming from nurseries, right, that are ideal conditions. It's not
[37:26] Speaker 2: going to grow the same way in your apartment, right,
[37:30] Speaker 2: And we have to also understand that the leaves that
[37:35] Speaker 2: were grown in the nursery are probably going to die.
[37:38] Speaker 2: We all have to let go of certain parts of
[37:40] Speaker 2: ourselves when we go into new environments, right, we have
[37:44] Speaker 2: to adapt, we have to grow in new ways. Plants
[37:47] Speaker 2: through the same thing. There's a lot of actually go
[37:50] Speaker 2: on metaphors, metaphors for days. Chi'a'll find me in the back.
[37:52] Speaker 2: I'll keep talking about it.
[37:53] Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. I like that we
[37:55] Speaker 1: can take care of our space. Yeah, take care of
[37:59] Speaker 1: the planet, take care of ourselves by being a plant parent.
[38:03] Speaker 1: And like, bonus, no shade, I've you know, been I've
[38:07] Speaker 1: had animals most of my life. But like, you don't
[38:11] Speaker 1: have to pick up a plant, you know, that's nice.
[38:15] Speaker 2: That's a bonus.
[38:21] Speaker 1: Well, friends, you can obviously get a copy of You
[38:24] Speaker 1: Grow Girl anywhere books are sold. My darling, I want
[38:29] Speaker 1: to let everyone have fun and have the gorgeous meal
[38:31] Speaker 1: that's been prepared, and see what's in their gift baskets.
[38:38] Speaker 1: You really are. I'm so excited. There may or may
[38:41] Speaker 1: not be something from my bees in there. You know,
[38:44] Speaker 1: it feels fun terrifying. Shipping enough of said surprise from
[38:50] Speaker 1: Los Angeles in glass, I was like, please let the
[38:53] Speaker 1: box be okay. But we made it. We made it, y'all.
[38:58] Speaker 1: I would just love to know because we are having
[39:02] Speaker 1: a Kiki. But we're also on my show what in
[39:05] Speaker 1: this moment, and it could be something professional personal, a
[39:10] Speaker 1: mix of the two. But for Christopher today, what feels
[39:15] Speaker 1: like you're work in progress?
[39:17] Speaker 2: Ooh, My work in progress is being more present in
[39:30] Speaker 2: the fruits of my labor. I put in a lot
[39:36] Speaker 2: of work throughout the years, and you know, I'm a
[39:42] Speaker 2: bit of an overachiever. I've always been straight a student
[39:45] Speaker 2: in school, graduated with honors throughout all my school experiences,
[39:51] Speaker 2: and I've always thought about the next thing, like, Okay,
[39:54] Speaker 2: what's the next thing I can achieve, right, which kind
[39:56] Speaker 2: of robbed me of the achievement that I made right.
[40:02] Speaker 2: And so right now I'm in a place where I'm
[40:06] Speaker 2: trying to help myself understand that this was the point,
[40:12] Speaker 2: like I'm here, enjoy it and use, you know, this
[40:18] Speaker 2: energy to help you get to the next level, but like,
[40:21] Speaker 2: enjoy the fruits of your labor. And so that's why
[40:25] Speaker 2: I'm just grateful for moments like these where we can
[40:28] Speaker 2: reflect and talk and hopefully inspire y'all to figure out
[40:32] Speaker 2: like how do you begin your garden, not your outdoor garden,
[40:37] Speaker 2: not your indoor gardener, your inner garden. Right for interesting times, right, now,
[40:43] Speaker 2: and I think it's important that we allow ourselves time
[40:47] Speaker 2: to be with ourselves and understand that we are we
[40:51] Speaker 2: are the garden, and we really have to figure out,
[40:54] Speaker 2: like how can we nourish ourselves and grow ourselves so
[40:58] Speaker 2: that hope our bloom can inspire other people.
[41:03] Speaker 1: It's beautiful. You inspire me so much.
[41:06] Speaker 2: You inspire me. Thanks for coming, Thank you for having me.
