🌴🎙️ In this episode of The Palmcast, we sit down with Hayes for an incredible conversation covering palms, weather, gardening, and the passion that drives it all.

Over the course of nearly two hours, we dive into Hayes’ background and experiences, the “jungle” he calls home, and the journey behind Longleaf Botanical Gardens in Anniston, Alabama. We also spend a lot of time talking practical Sabal growing, favorite species, cold hardy palms, weather patterns, and the realities of growing palms in challenging climates.

This was one of those conversations that easily could have lasted another several hours. Hayes brought an amazing depth of knowledge and enthusiasm to the show, and we’re excited to say he’ll be returning as a recurring friend of The Palmcast in future episodes.

If you’re passionate about palms, gardening, botanic gardens, or learning from experienced growers, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
