season 4, episode 2 - planting possibilities with lourdes still
our guest for episode 2 is lourdes still! lourdes is the creative behind masagana flower farm & studio, a small-scale flower farm, dye studio and new tourism destination near la broquerie, manitoba. in this immigrant, filipina-lead small business, lourdes places her priority on sustainable growing practices. she grows seasonal blooms, dye plants and makes hand made, small batch naturally dyed textile goods. she grows crops without synthetic fertilizers in garden beds where lawns previously existed. she advocates for an eco-conscious lifestyle and inspires others to re-imagine their greenspaces. she believes that growing joy (through flowers) and creating magic (through dye plants) is right at our fingertips and our gardens present opportunities to respond positively to the climate emergency. you can find her online at masaganaflowerfarm.com and on instagram @masaganaflowerfarm.
each season we read a new book about witchcraft practices around the world with the #snortandcacklebookclub, with a book review by ash and the occasional guest helping us close out the season. this season's #snortandcacklebookclub read is babaylan sing back: philippine shamans and voice, gender, and place by grace nono.
