This week’s podcast guest is Jessica Walliser, horticulturalist, garden columnist and author of several books including Good Bug, Bad Bug; and the award-winning Attracting Beneficial Bugs to the Garden. We chat about her newest book, Gardener’s Guide to Compact Plants: Edibles and Ornamentals for Small-Space Gardening.
Jessica also co-hosts a morning garden show on KDKA News radio in Pittsburg, PA, and she is the acquisitions editor for Cool Springs Press. She co-founded the popular gardening website, SavvyGardening.com. So we had a lot to talk about in our interview.
Our conversation begins with beneficial insects (predatory insects, which we agreed on as our favorites). Then we move on to compact plants and how to use her new book as a guide for designing your space, no matter how small.
