About the show

I'm your host, Jessica Murnane (author and horticultural therapy practitioner) – who is equally obsessed with the healing power of nature and the healing power of watching TV in bed. And I'm merging those two worlds together on Inside and Outside. Each week, my guest and I first discuss an OUTSIDE thing, like our first nature memory, how gardening can change the brain, and the rise of birding. Then we cover an INSIDE thing, like a show we're binging, the latest internet gossip, and pop culture news. Head to baskergardens.com for all the show notes for each episode!
