Single Plant Parents: Love & Lessons from the Greenhouse
About this episode
Soil Cousins, it’s cuffing and holiday season—a time for matching pajamas or cozy solo nights, depending on where life finds you. Whether you’re snuggled up with a partner or embracing the solo journey, this episode of Black in the Garden is for all the single Plant Parents nurturing their greens—and themselves.
Join Colah B. and guest cohost, Plant Zaddy, as they dive into the art of plant companionship and explore how our leafy friends can help us connect with others and ourselves. Drawing inspiration from NPR's The Art of Being Single, this conversation unpacks the joys and challenges of single life through the lens of plant care.
Discover how plants can help combat loneliness, reflect our relationship patterns, and guide us through post-breakup growth. From personal stories of relationships, single parenthood, marriage, and falling in love with plants, we’re getting real about the patience, resilience, and nurturing connections that plant care teaches us.
Whether you’re flying solo, coupled up, or somewhere in between, this episode will remind you that you’re never truly alone with your green companions by your side.
Grab your favorite plant, get cozy, and let’s dig in!
