Speaker:

Hi, I'm Topher Burns and I love gardening.

Speaker:

There's always something happening.

Speaker:

New leaves popping out at a plant or a bug crawling by that you didn't

Speaker:

know, lived in your neighborhood.

Speaker:

You're outside with the warm sun and the smell of the earth and growing things.

Speaker:

And you get to make new friends.

Speaker:

The birds that visit your feeders regularly, or your neighbors, you

Speaker:

never stopped to say hi to before.

Speaker:

And your relationships with the bushes and trees in your yard

Speaker:

last for years or even decades.

Speaker:

When I'm outside in my garden, I feel like I'm living on plant time.

Speaker:

The world slows down to do lists, fade away and the simplest details

Speaker:

like the brown paper texture of the underside of a Magnolia leaf

Speaker:

become endlessly fascinating.

Speaker:

I think everyone needs to spend more of their life on plant time.

Clippings is a podcast where we'll do that together.

Speaker:

It's a gardening show from a certified non-expert gardener me.

Speaker:

I'll share the simple tips.

Speaker:

I know we'll work on projects together.

Speaker:

I will screw up and we'll learn a lot along the way.

Speaker:

When things get tough, we're going to call my mom because she knows

Speaker:

way more about this stuff than.

And fair warning.

Speaker:

I might tell a story or two about my cats.

I'm so excited for you to join me.

About the Podcast

Clippings
Non-expert Gardening
"For anyone who wants a little taste of sunshine."

Clippings is a gardening show that's more about plant enthusiasm than plant expertise. Host Topher Burns just moved from an apartment in Brooklyn to a house in Portland - finally some dirt to play with, and he has got *projects* planned. Things don't always go right. Warning: some plants might die. Fortunately his mom's green-thumb advice is just a phone call away.

For master gardeners and marigold-novices alike, each episode is a quick, delightful moment spent outside. Imagine leaning over your fence and asking your neighbor what he's doing in his yard today. You might get some helpful gardening tips, you might just enjoy the sound of the birds. Either way, you're going to be glad you took a moment to stop and smell the gardenias.
