About this episode
This episode of Hort Culture wanders (joyfully) from overflowing lemon trees and dragon fruit mishaps to the pop-culture moments that quietly shaped our love of plants. The crew swaps stories about greenhouses, houseplants, and being accidental victims of horticultural success, then dives into how movies, books, and cartoons—from FernGully to The Secret Garden—sparked lifelong connections to the natural world. It’s a laid-back, nostalgic conversation about growing plants, growing up, and how plants have always been part of the story.
