Beronda Montgomery is a professor of biochemistry, molecular biology, and microbiology and Molecular Genetics at Michigan State University. She is the author of the new book, Lessons from Plants—a book I just love because it weaves together plant science with greater life lessons.
In this episode, we talk about how a plant’s scent is not really for us, why new plant leaves are worth celebrating, and how we might better learn to care for people by caring for plants. Plus, Dr. Montgomery tells us about how she planted a tree when her son was born and how that provided many lessons throughout his life so far.
Before the interview, I share some thoughts about how to prune. My advice: Remove what’s dead, diseased, or damaged first and anytime. Then research the shrubs you have to find out what’s best for that particular plant.
