Lightly Rooted: A Fine Fern Frenzy

Rooted: A Plant Podcast ·

2025/04/30

okay- we are back with a Drunk History style episode, this time brought to you by night time cold and flu medicine. I do actually believe getting to yap about victorian ladies and the history of the modern house plant industry DID heal me, so in some ways this episode might be medicinal... either way, if you like unhinged recaps of history, ferns, and victorian madness, you'll dig what we have going on here. Sources are quoted, but the bulk of this episode is from by brain to your ears.

Hello friends, and welcome back for a special (kind of chatty) episode of Rooted! We're talking about 2 infamous plant pranks, media literacy, my weird obsession with making hyper-specific power points as a child, and so much more. This one was recorded while I was still very much recovering from covid, so please be gentle with me!

Rooted: A Plant Podcast ·

2025/03/12

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. Support our public lands:
