This week we're discussing a poison that LITERALLY grows on trees for part 2 of our deadly poisons series. This infamous plant gives us an episode filled with twists, turns, and one SUPER messed up marathon. If you like true crime, fun facts, and weird history- you'll love this episode.
This week we're embracing spooky season by kicking off a new Series- Deadly Poisons. Our first entry? Castor - the plant ancient Egyptians and cleantok girlies alike adore. If you're into beauty hacks, botanical oddities, and the wild weapons of the cold war, this one is for you.
This week we're digging into the magic of community by taking a quick peak into the Lagoon Fairy Tree (or Bush depending on who you ask) in Ireland. After being really sick for 2 weeks (and candidly really sad about what's happening with our Parks and Public Lands here in the US) this was a good reminder of what we can do when we work together. No action is too silly or too small when it comes to protecting our community. Thank you for being a part of mine.
This week we're talking about the FREAKS of the Oak family, Cork oak! These bald beauties pop up in everything from high class wineries to old school science labs, and we couldn't be more perplexed by them. If you're into niche farming, weird growth habits, or just a big fan of oaks, you'll really dig this one!
This week we're digging in to a sappy favorite- Maple! With history, folklore, and a dash of sweetness, this is one episode you wont want to miss!
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.
Pucker up and prepare yourself for an episode with bickering gods, long walks across hell, and cancer fighting action.
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!
