EPISODE 1: Earth Month: The snow is gone and it is time to start thinking about gardens. Starting veggie and herb seeds inside can be intimidating, but we break it down into easy steps and share some wonderful native plants to attract pollinators. We also meet Patrick Breeding,  the founder of Marin Skincare that uses marine glycoproteins found in lobsters to significantly help skin affected with eczema, psoriasis and more. 

• In this episode, we open with Farmer Steph the founder of Maine’s Farm to Table Kids. She shares her passion for teaching kids from a young age how to plant, grow, care for and eat veggies. She shares tips on how to start seeds inside, some kid-favorite things to plant and her all-around incredible energy for “getting hands in the soil.” 
• The second segment stars Kate Shay, who is an organic gardener and writer for Beer and Weed magazine. She talks about the importance of using natural methods of fertilizing and pest control; plants to attract pollinators and why walking barefoot in your gardens is good for the soul. 
• We close this episode with Patrick Breeding the co-founder of Marin Skincare. Using patented marine glycoproteins found in Maine lobsters, he has created a cream that truly helps alleviate dry, aggravated skin, including eczema and psoriasis…seriously, just look at the before and after pictures on their site. It is time to heal our cracked, winter skin and get it ready for long sunny days outside playing and working.
