About this episode
In this whimsical and lavish episode of Black in the Garden, Colah B. Tawkin turns the luxury dial all the way up as she explores the ultimate plant lover’s fantasy—a world where money is no object, and no plant is off-limits!
Joined by the ever-fabulous Derek, The Chocolate Botanist, this conversation reimagines horticulture through a lens of opulence, creativity, and pure green indulgence. Think Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous meets MTV Cribs, but with rare orchids, towering tropicals, and extravagant botanical estates. From dream gardens and plant-inspired fashion to high-end green spaces and luxurious plant-based travel.
As we navigate these challenging times, joy and inspiration are more important than ever. So, Soil Cousins, grab your journals, pour a fancy drink, and settle in for an episode that’s equal parts aspiration, escapism, and plant-fueled fantasy. This is your PLANTASY—a lush, vibrant world where you and your plants are living your absolute best life!
