Rooted: A Plant Podcast

Since it's the day before Thanksgiving here in the US , we're taking a break! But we still wanted to keep you company on that long drive or day of cooking, so we put together a playlist focused on native plants and indigenous culture. After you give it a listen you'll have no shortage of fun facts to share at your feast.
