EP – 190 Growing Memories and Relationships
- EP - 190 Growing Memories and Relationships Greg Payne 48:32
This week’s guest, Craig McManus from McPlants, is on the show to discuss Gardening and landscaping and how these activities can build lasting memories. Craig starts our discussion by sharing his experience as a professional gardener and operating one of the best garden centers just outside of Atlanta.
We review and visit Craig’s memories of becoming a grandfather for the first time and how he started creating a special bond with his grandson, Gram. Some of Craig’s earliest memories are of holding his grandson and just making a popping sound with his mouth that seemed to both entertain and focus Gram’s attention on his loving grandfather.
Craig then shares his memories of his grandfathers, Pete and Pop. Their wonderful memories entertain us and learn about a variety of apples, Yates, that, according to Craig, make some of the best-tasting apple juice and cider.

You are going to enjoy this conversation with Craig. You will especially like the stories about his grandfathers, his experience as a grandfather, and how working in the garden or landscaping can help build up memories of working as a family that will last a lifetime.
