from Petal and Plot- Plant Stories and Garden Tips Hosted by Aneesa Adams, Eric Ketchum

Step back with us into the cool shade of Minnesota's forests and wetlands in search of one of the state's most beloved wildflowers, Lady Slippers, a flower so enchanting that it inspired legends, became Minnesota's state flower, and remains protected by law. Got bug problems in your garden? This week we go over how to identify insect damage, natural methods to save your plants, and how to invite beneficial insects into your garden to fight that fight for you. Eating foraged plants should only be done by experts, eating foraged plants may result in being poisoned. While the edibility of plants is discussed in this podcast, you should not consume foraged plants or mushrooms without the in-person advice from an expert.
