Our guest this week is Jessi Bloom. Jessi is a Northwest native and comes from a strong background of horticulture and environmental sciences. She is passionate about animals, permaculture and making functional gardens beautiful. She travels nationwide as a\xa0speaker\xa0and is the best-selling author of\xa0Free-Range Chicken Gardens\xa0and\xa0 Practical Permaculture Design.\xa0Jessi\u2019s work has gotten press and been featured in many national and local\xa0media\xa0outlets from the NY Times, Better Homes & Gardens, Sunset Magazine, DISNEY, Martha Stewart Living, Mother Earth News, UTNE Reader, Fine Gardening Magazine and PBS\u2019s\xa0Growing a Greener World TV. \n\nI met Jessi quite a few years ago now and we became good friends. She was instrumental in designing and planning our farm and is a big part of the community. Her book, Practical Permaculture Design is a \u201cmust read\u201d in my opinion if for no other reason than to get you thinking about how to best utilize and structure your farm or garden and get a better understanding of how Permaculture might apply in your life.\n\nhttps://www.kisorganics.com/pages/cannabis-cultivation-and-science-podcast-episode-16
