Growing With It

Help us celebrate our one year podcast anniversary AND the 51st anniversary of Earth Day. To celebrate, we will talk about the origin of Earth Day and how you can celebrate our planet today.

We are switching it up this week. Instead of Kelly teaching Aaron about (real) plants, Aaron has taken on the task of research and sharing his plant knowledge. Listen as Aaron takes you to four fictional worlds to describe some of fiction's most iconic plants.

Our first spooky Halloween episode features these scary bug-eating plants known as carnivorous plants. We talk about the evolution of these plants, different trap styles, and even poaching and felonies. If you're ready to listen to some scary plant facts, then this episode is for you.

Kelly and Aaron walk through six top plant myths seen around the internet. Do you want to know if singing to your plants is a good idea, or whether or not you should smoother the leaves of your plants in mayonnaise? Then tune in!

Our first Minisode to fill the awkward gap between our full episodes which we air on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. We talk about our favorite nurseries in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area, as well as our trip to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. We also talk about an exciting new nursery opening up in Frederick, MD!

Want to learn how to make more of your own houseplants for free? Then listen to our newest episode about plant propagation. Aaron and Kelly will talk about their propagation methods and successes.

Learn about what plants are toxic and what are not for your cats and dogs. We also offer some tips to deter pets from getting into plants, but to be honest, we are still struggling ourselves with our two kittens.
