In this episode, Dani fan-girls over her Garden, but also discusses knowledge that she brings with her when creating a Garden, as well as things that the Garden has taught her.

She recommends the YouTube channels Fairly Local Life and Rob Greenfield for gardening and foraging tips and some great Garden footage; as well as the Going Zero Waste video on Composting. She also recommends "Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants" by Robin Wall Kimmerer for anyone looking to start a Garden or learn more about the world.

She also recommends supporting the struggle for justice for George Barlow, and donating to his GoFundMe if you can. Learn more about the ongoing happenings in the case and find numbers to call and email addresses to send letters to on the @IndigenousWomenHike Instagram page. She recommend listening to the Behind the Police podcast for more history on policing, and reading "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz for a deeper understanding of the history of Indigenous Peoples in the US and with police.

And lastly, Dani recommends watching the Netflix documentary, Fantastic Fungi for a deeper understanding of how useful and mind-expanding mushrooms and fungi can be.
