On this episode of The Beet, Jacques chats with Erin Schanen of The Impatient Gardener about how she got her start in her mom’s garden, what she’s growing now, and what projects she and Jacques happily put off. They dig into the lessons gardeners everywhere can learn from her over two decades of hands-in-the-dirt experience – wins, flops, and all. It’s all about trying things and seeing what works!
