Having A Night With Ari & Sophie

Ever wander through a grocery store in the dead of winter, pick up a pineapple and say to no one: WTF is happening?!? It's easy to feel depressingly disconnected from the earth these days, and if you live in a city like NYC? Having a "green thumb" basically means you have decorative succulent slowly dying on your windowsill. Enter Sophia Samuda, a Culinary Educator, holistic nutrition specialist and NYC urban gardener changing the way we relate to – and consume– nature's bounty and redefining our idea of #SELFCARE. Through New York Restoration Project, Sophia secured a plot in a communal garden and has been growing her own fruits and veggies ever since. With patience, perseverance and a little luck she has taught herself more than just gardening, but how to live a more thoughtful, green, nourishing (see: delicious!) life. Listen in as we discuss all things #PLANTZ and follow her at @sophiasamuda! XOXO Ari and Sophie Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
