Wholesome plant education!

Each time I consider purchasing a new plant, I look to see if there’s a Plant School episode about it and listen multiple times! Or if I’m in a panic about a plant acting weird, I do the same. Plant School is such an easy listen and makes drives to the greenhouse even more enjoyable! Keep up the amazing work Rachel🌿🌱🌵🪴

Chill Planty Vibes

Rachel was blessed with a voice for podcasting. I recently got into houseplants and her podcast is by far my favourite because of how relaxing and chill they are to listen to, along with being fun and informative. I thoroughly enjoy getting a new plant then digging through her archives to find a corresponding ep (which usually there is one!). PLUS she’s a fellow Canadian. Bonus. Thanks for all you do!

This is THE houseplant podcast

I subscribe to about 8 or so plant podcasts and I have to say that Rachel’s is my absolute favourite. Her content is high quality, well researched and interesting. And liking the podcaster is really important cause you’re spending a great deal of time listening to them and in a way it’s like having a guest in your car or home. Rachel is smart, kind and generous. She recently did an episode on George Washington Carver that absolutely blew me away. If you haven’t yet subscribed, do it. Her earlier episodes included her husband as a guest and co-host and those were also amazing. Keep up the great work Rachel. You’re killing it. A fan from Canada.
