I'm so pleased to welcome my new friend Cari to the episode today. Cari is a master gardener, a new homesteader, and a garden coach for new and aspiring gardeners. Cari grew up as a nomad, in her own words, as her father's job took her all across the U.S. However, she found stability in her childhood through annual visits to her grandparent's farm. Later, Cari paused in the Pacific Northwest with her husband. But when infertility and miscarriage brought pain into their lives Cari's instinct was to pack up and leave - to run away. Instead, she decided to stay, to put down roots, and to find purpose in the land. I'm grateful Cari came on today and shared her perfect scone and summer jam recipes with us, along with her stories, and I'm so grateful to YOU, listener, for tuning in.
