Hi everybody this is Joe Lample as we get ready to bring you a great series of all new

episodes starting next week this week I wanted to share with you one of my favorite

episodes spanning our entire back catalog. Many of you are well acquainted with

Margaret Roach and if you're not I'll introduce you to her just ahead. But suffice

it to say she is quite a big deal and a treasure to us all in the gardening world.

This episode debuted as only our 15th episode ever, so I am quite certain most of you have probably never heard this one before, but the

information contained in this episode is timeless and loaded with guardian wisdom.

Enjoy.

Hey everybody, this is Gooding wisdom. Enjoy.

Hey everybody, this is Joe Lampel, the Joe Behind Joe Gardner, and thanks for listening to the Joe Gardner show. You are in for a treat today, I must say.

This is one of those conversations where I suggest that you just settle in and absorb some

of the wisdom that will be shared today by our good friend Margaret Roach.

I almost feel like this is a fireside kind of listen with your favorite

beverage and your favorite chair and your most comfortable clothes for lounging. So allow

me to encourage you to just treat yourself to the next not quite an hour to some

uninterrupted time so you can soak in and absorb all the wonderful things you're going to hear

from Margaret today. Now many of you already

know Margaret's story but not all so allow me to briefly just share with you some of

that to set the stage. For many years beginning in her 20s Margaret worked in the heart of New York City

primarily as a journalist and eventually working her way up to being the high-powered

corporate executive vice president and editorial Director of Martha Stewart Living.

So she had a lot on her plate at that time.
