Adam Purple, Guerilla Gardener

 I  step onto a sidewalk or into a park as if I am stepping onto a giant game board. 

I walk, look, listen and see what happens.  Sometimes I find a small treasure, and sometimes I meet a special person. 

For  example, while walking in Central Park, I met Adam Purple. The year was 1981.

Herb Gardens & Magical Pansies

Adam Purple, Guerilla Gardener

Adam Purple, Guerilla Gardener

 I  attribute my passion for plants and gardening to my mother and my mother-in-law. My mother was all about the flowers, whereas my mother-in-law, Carolyn, was all about the vegetables, although she, too,  loved flowers. Carolyn truly loved to cook and experiment with herbs and spices

The Resilient Butterfly

Adam Purple, Guerilla Gardener

The Resilient Butterfly

 This story is about a Red Admiral butterfly, which is named for the distinctive red-orange bands that run across the shoulders of its  fore wings, like the stripes on the shoulders of a naval officer's uniform... and not just any naval officer. An admiral is a top-ranking  naval officer.

Story Walking Radio Hour Podcast Library

Content for Cultivating Environmental Literacy

The Story Walking Radio Hour (SWRH) is an online open resource that supports environmental education and awareness.  SWRH podcasts can help teachers, parents and school counselors introduce youth to professional vocations that offer exciting opportunities to help co-create a greener and healthier world.  Nature-inspired eco-conscious stories and conversations inspire activism and promote habits, products and practices that listeners can consider incorporating into their daily living to support sustainability.


The radio hour guest list includes nature educators, farmers, landscapers, arborists, lawyers, biologists, urban planners, programmers, product developers, a fashion journalist, artists, authors, business professionals, students, activist parents and more.  Host Wendy Nadherny Fachon, a freelance environmental educator and journalist, begins each episode by sharing a short story from her own personal Walking Journal. Each story offers a lesson in the soul-guiding practice of Story Walking, while also setting the stage for each guest interview.    

Meeting Education Standards

SWRH content seeks to address Next Generation Science Standard ESS3.C Human Impacts on Earth Systems, which states: “Human activities in agriculture, industry, and everyday life have had major effects on the land, vegetation, streams, ocean, air and even outer space. But individuals and communities are doing things to help protect Earth’s resources and environments.”  SWRH also supports biological science, English language arts, social studies and social-emotional learning.
