Journalist, editor, and author Catie Marron joins Zibby to discuss her latest book, Becoming a Gardener, which recounts Catie's eighteen-month journey of building a garden during the pandemic. The two talk about what prompted Catie to try her hand at building a robust garden, why she made sure to incorporate literature and books about gardening into her personal narrative, and how she found the watercolor images that accompany her words. Catie also shares the fascinating story of how she became the chair of the board for the New York Public Library and what ambitious project she's looking to start next.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3f7G6UqBookshop: https://bit.ly/3D7XVKXSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.** Follow @totallybookedwithzibby on Instagram for listening guides and more. **(Music by Morning Moon Music.
