Today's episode of #NPRShortWave was pitched and hosted by me for Black History Month!
I talked to Abra Lee (@ConquerTheSoil) about Black garden history, folk gardens and three Black horticulturalists. Check it out! (1/5)

@SmithsonianSec@amhistorymuseum@SIGardens Victory Garden outside of the museum is another great place to learn about wartime agricultural contributions of women during WW II!
A horticulturalist, a grower, and a curator walk into a bar. Or rather, log into Zoom. "How do you grow hops? Why does @SIGardens grow hops outside @amhistorymuseum? Why are hops important to American #craftbeer & #beerhistory?" Punch lines delivered Thurs 4/8 12 pm ET #beer 🍺👇
Repost from @moremtb : Support https://t.co/G19YI9uOJa and the Dig In campaign to add a skills area at Brookfield Park. The Brookfield community and TYO programs rely on this park for adventures in the outdoors. Donate link in profile. https://t.co/vQs1AGHPg3
An UH-MAZING clip of Mrs. Ella Little Collins, older sister of icon and revolutionary Malcolm X speaking of their love for plants & flowers! She talks about Malcom X bringing her back plants from other countries & "he'd water it just like it was a baby."
The delicate dried flowers of #Hydrangea paniculata ‘Chantilly Lace’ perfectly accent Monumentus washingtonia in the background (but it goes by the common name Washington Monument😋).
One of our @SIGardens horticulturists made the best of our snowy weather. On cold days, I’m especially grateful for the teams who care for our Smithsonian buildings and gardens. Thanks for your hard work and for the smile!
Paused by these words when editing my oral history w/ Adam Robbings @Reubensbrews, Dec '17: "[What] the U.S. has done with #beer, like it does with everything...it takes the best of...what the world does and puts it together and makes it better. Right?"#beerhistory#craftbeer🍺😐
