  • Mow Lawn, Mo' Problems
    2025/06/26
    What if a well-manicured lawn isn’t the end all be all? What if it’s actually harming the local habitat? Doug Tallamy is the co-founder of Home Grown National Park. It’s a non-profit that urges property owners to reduce their lawns and plant native plants. He shares all the little things we can do to help restore functioning ecosystems and mitigate the biodiversity crisis. And: Quarry Gardens is the first and only native plant botanical garden in Virginia. It started off as a soapstone quarry. Now it's an environmental gem with a beautiful quarter mile loop boasting over 500 species of native plants. Devin Floyd takes us on a tour of the gardens - showing off the quarry pits and the ancient ecosystems he calls lost worlds. Later in the show: For the last ten years or so, Jim Parkhurst has been running a statewide wildlife hotline. It’s a toll-free number people can call to report run-ins with bears or ask questions like how to keep deer out of their gardens. He breaks down the ways we humans can better co-exist with wildlife.

  • Brightness
    2025/06/19
    Many have viewed O'Keeffe's abstract oil paintings as erotic. She blithely dismissed those assumptions in her lifetime. And while her work was praised by women artists and second wave American feminists as proof of their own potential, she refused that identification. Her work was her work and her accomplishments were her accomplishments. She did not want to lead or represent anyone but herself. Known as the mother of American modernism, film directors Paul and Ellen Wagner say that Georgia O’Keeffe has been treated as a myth. Their documentary Georgia O'Keeffe: the Brightness of Light brings her to life in all of her complexities. Later in the show: Do you ever find yourself humming a favorite nursery rhyme to yourself or recalling a fairy tale to get through a tough time? Margaret Meehan says there’s a more sinister side to the classics. She remixes and explores those stories in her ceramic work to ask who were we taught to fear? To respect? How were we taught to be? And: Along the Roanoke River Greenway, cardinals, songsparrows and American redstarts are chirping their late Spring tune. Through her watercolor wildlife portraits, Lucinda Rowe captures the spectacular mundane of the local ecosystem.
