    Episode "0" - Christmas Plants

    Back in January 2025, during the planning of Season 1, Nora and Aly sat down to record an “Episode 0” to get a feel for the process and decide if they really wanted to make a podcast after all. Spoilers: they did. Merry Christmas! Some plants are famously active in the winter. So famous, in fact, that they have become immediately recognizable symbols of Christmas and Winter Solstice holidays. This episode, Nora and Aly talk Christmas trees, mistletoe, holly and ivy!
