The Beet: A Podcast For Plant Lovers

This week on The Beet, Jacques sits down with Tanner Mitchell, aka “Tannner the Planter”: author, houseplant expert, and TikTok gardening celebrity from the nursery and gardening store Famous In Oregon. They discuss his move from Oregon to Texas and why the “trap of intuition” can sometimes lead growers astray. The conversation goes beyond the basics, unpacking why successful plant care is more about direct observation than subjective perceptions of growing conditions.

Connect with Tanner Mitchell:

Tanner Mitchell co-founded Famous In Oregon, a thriving online houseplant business, with his wife, Erika. Better known as @TannerthePlanter, he’s built a massive, highly engaged online community centered around plant care and education. He calls Prosper, Texas, home, where life with his family is, unsurprisingly, still pretty plant-filled.

In this episode of The Beet, Jacques chats with Missouri farmers and food preservers Staci and Jeremy Hill of Gooseberry Bridge Farm. With wild swings in weather, they’ve learned that fast, smart food preservation is essential. They dig into the how and why behind preserving the harvest, covering practical methods from their new book, The Preserver’s Garden. If you’ve ever wondered how to make your garden last beyond the season, this conversation makes a strong (and tasty) case.

Connect with Jeremy & Staci Hill:

In 2016, Staci and Jeremy traded suburban life for 11.6 acres and a fixer-upper farmhouse in southern Missouri. What started as a dream quickly turned into a full-blown homestead, called Gooseberry Bridge Farm, complete with gardens, orchards, and a growing crew of goats, sheep, cows, pigs, and plenty of feathered friends. Now in year eight, they run a lively You-Pick flower farm and farm store, sharing products and know-how with visitors year-round.

This week on The Beet, Jacques chats with Elise Howard, author of Plant This, Not That, about why native plants truly matter. They dig into how invasive species disrupt ecosystems, and how to phase them out of your garden gradually. Along the way, they outline how to grow a thriving, abundant native garden at home, and make the case for letting the bugs snack on your plants for maximum ecosystem support.

Connect with Elise Howard:

Elise has been digging in the dirt since childhood, growing gardens everywhere from Virginia to Maine, from window boxes to coastal landscapes. Her passion for native plants took root more than fifteen years ago while volunteering in New York City’s Riverside Park. She’s now a literary agent after a long career in children’s publishing. Elise lives and gardens with her family in New York City and Western Massachusetts, where she continues to cultivate both plants and ideas.
