To get us all in the swing of Valentines Day, I thought it wasa good time to review florigraphy! This way we can all carefully decode our bouquets and find out if they're from a secret admirer or a petty betty.

This week we're literally spicing it up by digging into clove! This one is heavy on history and science, so if you like those episodes you'll want to tune in!

This week we're back with another episode on a favorite in-season fruit- Oranges! If you want to learn more about how we cracked scurvy, color theory, or the botanist who liked oranges so much he turned he took a bunch of trees on a high sea adventure, we've got you covered.

We're off this week. As a holiday gift to you, we've rounded up episodes on our favorite family- nightshade! Scandal and secrets await, but don't worry- we'll be back next week to meet some new planty friends!

Pucker up and prepare yourself for an episode with bickering gods, long walks across hell, and cancer fighting action.

This week we're celebrating the holidays by reflecting on medicine of the victorian era.....think of it as the ghost of sickness past coming to remind you about all the wacky things people used to eat and rub all over themselves during cold and flu season.

This week’s episode kind of has it all- botanical metal band pleas, nature’s red flag, landscaping tips, old school roman ragers, and lightning! If you like the more eclectic episodes I think you’ll like what we’ve got going this week!
