Jennifer Jewell

Jennifer Jewell is the creator and host of the national award-winning weekly public radio program and podcast Cultivating Place: Conversations on Natural History and the Human Impulse to Garden (a co-production of North State Public Radio, which began airing in 2016), and Executive Director of the non-profit Cultivating Place Foundation (founded in 2024), whose purpose is to expand and elevate the way we as a culture think and talk about, as well as value, Gardeners and gardening.

Jewell's greatest passion is the empowerment of gardeners, and the possibility inherent in the intersection between places, environments, cultures, individuals, and the gardens that bring them together beautifully - for the better of all the lives on this generous planet.

The author of three books: The Earth in Her Hands (2020, Timber Press), Under Western Skies (2021, Timber Press), and What We Sow (2023, Timber Press), Jewell and the Cultivating Place Foundation are currently in post-production on a documentary film series synthesizing the lessons learned from more than 10 years of Gardener-supporting interviews: The Power of Gardeners, will air on PBS affiliate stations starting in April of 2027.

Jewell cultivates her place with her partner, John Whittlesey, in Butte County, CA.
