Miami of Ohio's Institute for Environment & Sustainability Masters of Environment program

Cultivating Place - A podcast by Jennifer Jewell / Cultivating Place - Thursdays

Can you believe it is already back-to-school season? This week, we look at what back to school means for our lifelong learning with plants. This week, we’re in conversation with members of the Miami University of Ohio engaged with Miami’s Institute for Environment and Sustainability Masters of Environment program and Institute for Food Farm to learn more about just a few of the ways plant and horticultural information in integrated into the daily life of Miami’s curriculum. In September of last year, I had the pleasure and privilege of visiting with students, faculty, and horticultural facilities at Miami of Ohio, and it impressed upon me even more urgently the importance of supporting and demanding strong horticultural and ecological curricula in our educational systems at all levels - from pre-school to Pre-med and PhDs of all kinds. This week, Ross Olson, the Coordinator of Miami’s Institute for Food Farm, Colin Valantino, an IES graduate student doing a Summer Client Project “practicum" with the farm, and Aisley Carpenter, a student worker at the farm, are all with Cultivating Place to share more. Listen in! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud, iTunes, Google Podcast, and Stitcher. To read more and for many more photos please visit www.cultivatingplace.com.
