MAKING DECISIONS IN THE GARDEN &amp; LIFE | ft. The Tattooed Gardener  Your source of garden + life inspiration  - Season One | Episode 2   Life seeds is the intersection of learning more about our garden and ourselves. Growth can be experienced in many different ways and can be observed in many different ways. But before growth can happen, seeds have to be planted.  Today we catch up with garden expert Paul Gellatly otherwise known as "The Tattooed Gardener". Paul has incredible experience from working with the Toronto Zoo to being Director of Horticulture at the Toronto Botanical Gardens.  Paul grew up loving to grow and we can't wait for you to hear some of his stories from childhood to now. A huge part of this conversation focuses on the difficulty of making decisions and learning when it's time to pull the trigger.

The ones that sink or the ones that float? Short answer is the ones that sink are going to be more viable to germinate. (Water test: Take your seeds and put them in a container of water. Let them sit for about 15 minutes. Then if the seeds sink, they are still viable; if they float, they most likely will not sprout. This method, in my opinion, is not the best way to check your seeds. For surer results, try performing a germination test.

MAKING DECISIONS IN THE GARDEN & LIFE | ft. Paul Gellatly, The Tattooed Gardener

Paul Gellatly is back on the show to talk about how to take care of orchids. Orchids are a popular plant in many households, but people often don’t know how to take care of them, including me. Paul takes us through the care process step by step from purchase to watering. After this episode, you will have a greater understanding of the care needed for a happy, beautiful and long-living orchid. Paul also talks about the number of orchids species in the world and where they are located. He also gives you reasons why dense soil in a potted orchid plant is not the right way to take care of an orchid (spoiler: it has to do with where they grow).
