About this listen

This week, Stevie and I are talking about one of my all-time favorite low-effort, high-reward garden moves: dividing and transplanting perennials in the fall. Whether you're trying to fill out a new bed, edit what’s not working, or just want more of that one plant that always thrives—this episode is all about using what you already have to grow the garden you want.

If you’ve ever wondered when to divide, how to do it, or why it’s worth the effort, you’re in the right place.

In this episode, I cover:
  • Why fall is an ideal time to divide most perennials
  • Simple cues to know when a plant is ready to be divided
  • How transplanting helps you edit and expand your garden with intention
  • The satisfaction of “shopping your own garden” instead of buying new
