    The Condo Disaster That Left Homeowners Trapped

    A construction project intended to expand a local sewer system turned into a nightmare for residents of the Woodland Hills Condominiums in Southgate, Kentucky. After excavation began near the property, residents reported severe foundation cracks, uneven floors, shifting doors, and separating balconies. The damage escalated into a landslide, forcing dozens of residents to leave their homes while continuing to face mortgages, HOA fees, and the cost of finding somewhere else to live. Mikki Paradis and Jessica Abreu break down the timeline, the lawsuits involving the sanitation district, Bray Construction, and other parties, and the financial consequences for homeowners who lost access to their properties. They also discuss the Kentucky Supreme Court's February 2026 ruling that overturned a temporary financial assistance order for eight homeowners, while the larger question of responsibility remains unresolved. This episode explores construction accountability, HOA costs, housing insecurity, and the devastating consequences when homeowners are left paying for damage they did not cause.

    Jay Young from Flinders Farm Gate on regenerative farming, garlic and a paddock full of sunflowers

    In this episode of The Sentimental Gardener, Cass chats with Jay Young, co-founder of Flinders Farmgate, a small-scale regenerative farm on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. Alongside her husband Nick, Jay grows garlic, sunflowers, dahlias and seasonal flowers, while finding ways to share their special patch of land with the local community. We talk about how a friend's suggestion to grow garlic set their farming journey in motion, how losing an entire garlic crop led them to diversify into flowers, and how a sunflower picking event grew into something much bigger than they expected. Jay also shares what she's learnt about regenerative farming, building healthy soil, working with nature rather than constantly intervening, and the realities of balancing a growing farm business with family life. And, of course, we talk about her sentimental plants: the climbing beans that take Jay back to her grandparent's garden, the winter-scented flowers that remind her of an early job at a flower shop, and the sunflowers that continue to bring her joy.
