    2025/01/07
    I can't believe we're already in 2025, but I am SO excited to spill all the tea about my wild plant experiment from last year. In 2024, I totally went for it and added over 40 new plant species to my collection—and it was quite the adventure! Some of these plants thrived, some flopped, and yes, some didn’t make it. So in this episode, I’m sharing it all—from my favorites to my fails—and what I learned along the way.In this episode, we learn:[01:51] Reflecting on 2024[04:31] What’s your plant parent personality?[06:38] Why I now consider myself a low maintenance plant parent[09:08] How I fell in love with Ficus (and fell out of love with Calathea)[11:52] My success with Anthuriums and Alocasia[13:37] Why my most repurchased plants are philodendrons (+ pothos)[15:19] Start 2025 with soothing premium chimes with Wind River![17:00] Grow your best garden yet with the AHS Essential Guide to Organic Vegetable Gardening![19:39] Why there is less light in your house than you believe[20:50] My top favorite plants in 2024[33:44] My least favorite plants in 2024[37:56] Plants that didn’t make it in 2024 :([42:53] What's in store for my 2025 houseplant collection?Mentioned in our conversation:What's Your Plant Parent Personality?Growing Joy Ep 147: How to Care For Carnivorous Plants Indoors with Damon of California CarnivoresGrowing Joy Ep 269: Carnivorous Plants: The Houseplant Pest Control You Never Thought Of with Kenny CooganGrowing Joy Ep 247: Growing Joy "After Dark": Spilling the Planty Tea with Kamili Bell Hill and Agatha IsabelHow Carnivorous Plants Can Be Used for Pest Control // Indoor Carnivorous PlantsFull Soltech Highland Light and Wallygrow Eco Wall Planter Greenwall Set Up and ReviewÅKERBÄR greenhouse, in/outdoor/white, 45 cm - IKEAFor a complete list of my 2024 plant collection ranked,check out the full show notes and blog here!Thank you to our episode sponsors:Wind River ChimesVisit windriverchimes.com and use code GROWINGJOY to receive free engraving on your chosen wind chimes.Quarto: American Horticultural Society Essential Guide to Organic Vegetable GardeningGrab a copy of the Essential Guide to Organic Vegetable Gardening at your favorite local bookstore, bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, quarto.com or amazon.com to start growing organically.Follow Maria and Growing Joy:Order my book: Growing Joy: The Plant Lover's Guide to Cultivating Happiness (and Plants) by Maria Failla, Illustrated by Samantha LeungJoin the Bloom and Grow Garden Party Community Platform & App AKA the plantiest and kindest corner of the internet!

  • The Role of Nature in Personal Growth
    2024/12/31

    What role do you think nature plays in your life? For me, it has always been a deeper way to improve my mental, physical, and emotional health. In fact, it’s not just me who thinks this way. The minute I hopped into the digital recording studio, I knew that my guest was someone very similar to me! I’ve been following Marcus Bridgewater, better known as Garden Marcus, for years, and I’m so happy to say that he surpassed my dreams of what this conversation on plants and wellness could have been.


    In this episode, we learn:
    • [02:12] Who is Marcus from Garden Marcus?
    • [04:49] Something we have in common!
    • [09:03] How did Garden Marcus get started?
    • [12:50] How did Marcus first start gardening?
    • [17:01] Our crazy plant parent stories
    • [18:56] Community and isolation
    • [20:37] Why we need more green spaces
    • [27:41] How to be a more “grounding” person
    • [30:08] How disconnected is the world from nature?
    • [33:08] Exploring plant life parallels
    • [36:37] How to understand “feelings”
    • [39:35] How to awaken to nature’s presence
    • [43:27] How Marcus’s book came to be
    • [46:11] Mind, body, and spirit
    • [47:32] What it means to be “community loyal”
    • [48:23] Garden Marcus vs. Marcus Bridgewater
    • [51:04] Check out Seasons of Growth: The New Journal
    • [53:30] Where to follow/find Garden Marcus


    Mentioned in this conversation:
    • How to Grow: Nurture Your Garden, Nurture Yourself by Marcus Bridgewater
    • Seasons of Growth: A Journal for Well-Being Inspired by Marcus Bridgewater
    • Choice Forward
    • Redwood National and State Parks (U.S. National Park Service)
