Botanical Horror!
from The Horticulturati
This podcast is two years old! To celebrate, Colleen announces the release of her new BOOK and Leah brings you to the dark side of the plant kingdom with sinister tales of the horticultural uncanny. Journey with us to "Flytrap Gulch," the Alnwick Poison Garden, and a greenhouse full of googly eyes. In the words of Michael Pollan: "A garden should contain all the colors of human emotion, even the very darkest." Order Colleen's book here. Want to support the show and get 20% off the book?
