#097 'When life hands you dirt, plant seeds' | Linda Galvad
Every seed has a story.
What began as a seed of an idea turned into a passion for growing from seed for Organic Gardening Goddess Linda Galvad.
In this edition of Grounded, Linda and Melanie Walker (co-conspirators on The Home Channel's Gardening 101) get to grips with what makes a seed heirloom, heritage and organic, why you shouldn't bring seeds with you from other countries, what you should be growing in your backyard this month as we head into the cold of winter in SA, and how to improve your health and well-being by being, well... a seedsmith!

#096 Finding out about foraging | Gregory Henderson
Sometimes cookery books aren't just about cooking, they're about a whole lot more; the ingredients and where they come from, the ancestors who hold the lore surrounding them, preserving wild foods (in nature, not just in jam jars), and the heritage of indigenous ingredients. It's about the stories that come with the 'lekkerness', the 'mnandi-ness' of the people and their culinary culture.
Gregory Henderson is more than just a chef, he's been a global winner of the LUX Awards Most Sustainable Dining Experience and is an ardent promoter not only of living off the land but ensuring that our unique South African tales about food aren't lost in the mists of time.
Gregory's books showcase these proudly South African values and they're on the menu for discussion in this tasty episode. Mel's Treasures on Facebook
