475 | Going Without

Rewilding a home landscape to support wildlife and increase biodiversity is a noble and worthwhile effort and should be every property owner’s right. However, ill-advised local ordinances that favor tidiness over ecology can make a native garden a target for fines and prosecution. On this week’s podcast, native gardener Craig Sinclair explains how he went to bat for his garden and overcame the forces that would see it plowed under and sodded over.

I hear from many of you who have a dream of living a homestead lifestyle on your own property out in the country. Natalie and her family had a similar dream, and they were determined to do it without taking on a mortgage. Rather than opting for an RV or tiny home, they turned a shed into the cottage of their dreams. Natalie joins me in this episode to share about the process, answer frequently asked questions, and talk through their long-term vision. I hope Natalie’s story inspires your creativity and resourcefulness as you work toward your own dreams!
In this episode, we cover:

What led Natalie and her family to sell their property in Texas and build a 750 sq. ft. shed home in South Carolina

Making a small house work for a large family is easier than you may think

Why a shed house is the perfect solution for families who dream of living on land

What costs should you factor into a shed home build?

These long-term options make a shed home worth the investment

What it’s really like living with four young boys in a tiny house

Answering the most common questions about Natalie’s shed home

Even on a cold or dull January day there is always some winter wonders to be discovered in a botanic garden.  This week, David Maxwell heads to the National Botanic Gardens at Glasnevin, just a few miles from the centre of Dublin. Outdoors he finds flowering Japanese Quince (Chaenomeles japonica)  and the striking bark of Chilean Myrtle (Luma apiculata) while in the impressive “Curvilinear Range” he is blown away by the scent of Jasmine (Jasminium polyanthum) and the flowers of the Bird of Paradise plant (Strelitizia reginae) which are cosy under the glass.  Also on the programme, a visit to Monkstown Village Community Garden in Newtownabbey where volunteers keep things so tidy that they actually vacuum the polytunnel, and Rosie Maye joins David in studio to answer question and offer some winter gardening inspiration.  Contact the programme on gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk

399-Preparation and Seed Organization Tips for a Stress-Free Seed Starting Season

Women have been targeted for decades with the message that shopping is recreation. It’s a way to relax and unwind, sure, but recreational shopping also contributes to the climate crisis, supports the worst of shareholder capitalism, and creates an awful lot of unnecessary waste.
Enter Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, a hard-hitting new Netflix documentary that forces viewers to look at our waste-related woes. On today’s show producer Flora Bagenal offers a behind-the-scenes look at the documentary’s creation; she also answers your pressing, post-viewing questions.
A note from Stephanie: This episode was recorded before the Los Angeles wildfires. If you're able, please consider donating to one of these organizations. 
 
Here’s a preview:
[7:00] People find it hard to look at waste, and yet the film makes us look. A behind-the-scenes examination all those hard-hitting images
[16:30] Adidas, Amazon, Unilever, and Apple: Here's why the film featured former employees-turned-whistleblowers
[26:00] Corporate execs must show growth, and corporations are on a treadmill of extracting more and more $$ by pushing unnecessary and redundant products. Is not buying an effective act of resistance?
[30:00] Mindset shifts! Quality is a climate issue, and once you press ‘Buy Now’ you become responsible for the item’s end of life
[36:00] Exactly how to Use. Your. Rage!

****************
Last week, Los Angeles experienced one of the worst wildfires in history, leaving devastation in its wake. Lives have been uprooted, homes destroyed, and communities forever changed. While “stuff” isn’t the most important thing in life, losing it—especially suddenly—can be an emotional and overwhelming experience.
In this episode, I’m diving into how we can prepare for the unthinkable by decluttering and organizing now. I’ll walk you through practical steps to simplify your belongings, safeguard the things that matter most, and reduce stress if you ever face a disaster.
This episode isn’t about glossing over the pain of loss—it’s about empowering you to take small, meaningful actions today so you can face the unexpected with resilience.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why losing “stuff” is emotional and how to process the grief.

How decluttering now can make recovery easier in a disaster.

Practical tips for creating a “go bag” and backing up important documents.

The importance of digitally preserving sentimental items.

How to decide what’s truly important and let go with grace.

Ways to build a resilient, supportive community in times of crisis.


Action Steps to Take This Week:


Create a Go Bag: Include essential documents, medications, cash, and personal items you’d need in an emergency.


Declutter One Small Space: Start with a single drawer, closet, or area using the “Would I miss this?” test.


Take Inventory of Your Belongings: Document your items with photos or videos and store them digitally.
