Plants and gardening offer countless benefits: physical and mental health, stress-relief, connection with nature, opportunities to nurture, happiness...   Recorded during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, Tim & Brian welcome Dr. Charlie Hall, Chief Economist for American Hort and Professor and Ellison Chair in International Floriculture at Texas A&M University.  We discuss how to counteract the negative effects of social distancing, stay-at-home orders, and the resultant mental health challenges many of us are facing during this time of crisis.  Listen in to find out why we feel the world needs flowers and plants, now more than ever.

More than just a great Expose song from the 80's... seasons change in the garden too!  Tim and Brian discuss why different plants work better in different seasons.  And what's this Creative Destruction idea?!  The song gives us a clue (with a slight twist of the lyrics): I'll sacrifice today, just to have you here tomorrow.

002 Seasons Change... in the Yard

Tim and Brian discuss their backgrounds and how they got into gardening, landscaping, and hardscaping.  The landscapes around our homes, our yards, were meant to be lived in and enjoyed, no matter how big or small.  Design, install, maintain... whether you love to do it yourself or hire it out, we'll teach you the tips and tricks to have great outdoor spaces.  So, get the most out of your landscaping, gardening, flowers, trees, shrubs, lawns, plants, vegetables, hardscapes, and everything else that goes along with an awesome yard.  Don't forget to subscribe so you can join us each week here on the Diggin' The Yard Show!
