Good morning and happy May from all of us here at Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem! Our guest this morning is Ben Bloom of Bloom's Wholesale Nursery -- a growing nursery supplying high-quality locally-oriented plants to non-box-store local nurseries throughout the Bay Area. Ben is from the second generation of Blooms running the nursery, and has developed a passion for native plants, which are a sub-specialty.

Edie and Ben spent the hour discussing not only the ins and outs of being a "nursery brat," growing up around plant operations; they know many of the same people - but also the many options for garden and landscaping plants we have here in the Bay Area, what some of the factors are in choosing the right ones to grow, together they unfurled some of the myths around using Native plants in your landscape.

Here we are with another edition of Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem! Todays' show featured recorded audio that Edie brought back from a visit to the Sonoma Botanical Gardens in Glen Ellen; in addition to their usual and extensive collection of plants, there are currently sculptures on display by Oaxacan artists Maria and Jacobo Angeles - the Spirit Guides exhibit will be up through Sept. 7; inspired by the Zapotec calendar, the exhibition includes eight large-scale works organized by Denver Botanic Gardens. Edie and Kristine Lindh from Sonoma Botanical Gardens gave us a brief audio tour of the colorful sculptures on display among the gardens. Following this, we took calls and Edie dispensed gardening advice for Bay Area gardeners this spring.
