  • Niche info and thorough research on plants, medicine, and history, with a modern perspective

    Neurodivergence-friendly presentation of fascinating, well-researched content delivered with appropriate gravitas but also a sense of humour. Betimes serious, quirky, funny, or personal, but always informative and interesting. Totally binge-worthy. Highly recommend!

    So, you reach everywhere!

    Now, I’m starting “Not so happy trees”, and as I already know that both of you, but mostly Becca, love fun facts, I’m going to tell you ... more

  • I’m learning so much!

    I agree, she is the normal one. But also! I love getting to learn more about plants and other possible things to avoid that could kill me. Tbh, I have been searching for books on this subject. Oddly difficult to find at my local book stores.
