Wine Down the Week With Angie

Tanner the Planter | The Most Rewarding Part of Owning Plants | Wine Down the Week Ep 11

Welcome to the Wine Down the Week podcast brought to you by Soltech Solutions where we talk with members of the plant community while relaxing with a drink (or two.) Tanner, along with his wife Erika, is the owner of the north Texas-based plant shop, called Famous in Oregon. Tanner grew up in Pilot Rock, Oregon always surrounded by beautiful greenery and the mountains. He began his plant collecting journey because of missing his lush hometown. Tanner has seen firsthand the immense benefits of having plants to take care of, but he’s also quick to point out that to get the real benefits of growing, you can’t just read about plants. It’s about personal interaction with plants and getting your hands dirty.
