If you don’t love Tom and Fran, your soul is frozen and dark.
I love the relaxed, open style of this podcast. As someone having come from an academic background learning about native plants, this style is a breath of revitalizing fresh air. Both Fran and Tom’s comments, as well as those of the experts they bring on, rekindle my love for plants by speaking to their holistic relationship with the plants more than just their scientific knowledge about them. I love the storytelling aspect of the show.
Enjoyable personalities discussing meaningful topics with exceptional guests. Probably my favorite podcast.
Love this podcast. Fran and Tom are down-to-earth and knowledgable hosts passionate about getting more natives growing. I appreciate the deeper dive conversations with guests which acts as a springboard for me to continue learning from others. Always enjoy “What is your favorite native plant and why”. Shout out to Egocentric Plastic Men for the Native Plants theme song. Any way that I could purchase this track?
