EP219- TJ Maher Patthana Garden, Chats About His New Book ”Grounded In The Garden”

In this weeks episode John chats with TJ Maher Patthana garden about his new book.
Join us as we chat with TJ , whose dual passions for art and gardening have culminated in his latest masterpiece of a book, "Grounded in the Garden."

This episode is a kaleidoscope of insights into how TJ's painterly eye has transformed his own space, where his adept use of colour and form creates a living canvas that is the beautiful Patthana Garden. With the spellbinding imagery of Jason Ingram and Clive Nichols featured in his book, TJ guides us through the nuances of crafting a garden that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is a sanctuary for the soul.

Gardening is more than just a pastime; it's a strategic endeavor, as TJ reveals with anecdotes of his own botanical choices that have shaped his garden's evolution. He peels back the layers of what it means to truly 'edit' a garden, sharing the wisdom behind the tough love approach needed to prune or transplant for the greater visual harmony. This segment blooms with practical advice on how to sustain a garden's allure throughout the seasons, with TJ's recommendations on long-flowering plants and eye-catching potted arrangements that every gardener can replicate for year-round delight.

As we delve deeper into the symbiotic dance between our gardens and Mother Nature, TJ unveils the profound impact our horticultural actions have on the wildlife with whom we share our spaces. The discussion blossoms into a discussion on the spiritual side of being in a garden or in nature and a call to embrace the wild over the manicured – a sentiment echoed by the wildlife that graces TJ's garden. This stirring conversation is a reminder of the precious balance we must maintain with nature and the lessons it imparts on living mindfully, celebrating the present, and finding peace in our personal patches of green.
