The Collected Cottage feat. Kathryn Crisp Greeley

The Collected Cottage feat. Kathryn Crisp Greeley
Kathryn Greeley is a collector, gardener, entertainer, and designer. Kathryn lives in western North Carolina in a lovely home called Chestnut Cottage. This cottage and its grounds are filled with many of her favorite things. The gardens outside the cottage are equally impressive. Kathryn’s great affection for cottage style gardens was inspired by her many visits to England, Scotland, and Ireland. Her cozy and informal gardens fill her home with flowers from spring through fall – starting with over 2,600 daffodils and tulips followed by peonies, foxgloves, lupines, forget-me-nots, grape hyacinths and then lilacs, scented roses, delphiniums, sweet peas and of course hollyhocks to mention a few. We’ve brought Kathryn on today to discuss planning a year-round garden.Find her new book here:The Collected Cottage - Gardening, Gathering and Collecting at Chestnut CottageResources Kathryn mentioned: The English Garden (magazine) - https://theenglishgarden.telegraph.co.uk/ Brent and Becky’s (online store) - https://brentandbeckysbulbs.com/Stay Connected:Subscribe to our newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/e3cef217a5e7/sweetnewsText a friend with a link to the show https://pod.link/1442852139Support this Show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/272163da-d825-415c-8092-bd907aba8ebd/donationsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/steel-magnolias-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Visionaries of the OBX with Clark Twiddy
The chain of barrier islands that skirts the coast of North Carolina from the Virginia border to Cape Lookout was once remote. Today the Outer Banks is one of America’s most popular vacation destinations; welcoming millions of visitors each year! We had the opportunity to sit down with author and Outer Banks native Clark Twiddy. He chronicles the region's journey from isolation to popularity through the stories of innovators and risktakers.Clark Twiddy grew up in Duck, NC and has watched much of the transformation he discusses in his new book "Outer Banks Visionaries: Building North Carolina’s Oceanfront." He was in the U.S. Navy and is an alumnus of Virginia Military Institute, the University of Tennessee (Go Vols!) and Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. He is now the president of Twiddy and Company, a hospitality and asset management firm that was founded in 1978 along the OBX. He has also served in many public, private and nonprofit roles. More info: https://www.twiddy.com/blog/outer-banks-visionaries/?gclid=CjwKCAjwgsqoBhBNEiwAwe5w00_jwbCKzj4iN9MnyKl9Q58vsQvXVnKkhlWeFm_AceYunQaUPIuUihoCuSEQAvD_BwETwiddy Rentals: https://www.twiddy.com/"Outer Banks Visionaires: Building North Carolina’s Oceanfront": https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/products/9781467153911Stay Connected:Subscribe to our newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/e3cef217a5e7/sweetnewsText a friend with a link to the show https://pod.link/1442852139Support this Show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/272163da-d825-415c-8092-bd907aba8ebd/donationsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/steel-magnolias-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
