Ep110-Weird Plants

Not every plant wants to be a Monstera. In this episode, we’re joined by Machi and diving into the weird, overlooked, and downright strange plants that don’t usually make it into trendy plant collections. From funky growth habits and unusual textures to plants that look like they belong on another planet, we’re talking about the species that make people stop and say, “What is that?” We explore why these plants stay under the radar, what makes them special to grow, and why collecting “weird” plants can be more rewarding than chasing the latest hype. If you’ve ever been drawn to asymmetry, odd leaves, slow growers, or plants that refuse to perform for social media, this episode is for you. Come celebrate the misfits, the mutants, and the plants that quietly steal your heart once you give them a chance.

EP108-Como Conservatory Pt.2

We’re back for part two of our walking tour through the Como Park Conservatory with Machi and Julian — and this time, we’re exploring some of its most peaceful and inspiring spaces. We start in the Sunken Garden, filled with vibrant, seasonally changing displays of annuals that transform the space throughout the year. From there, we pause by the koi pond, where flashes of color drift beneath the surface, before ending our visit in the Bonsai room, where decades of care and artistry are captured in miniature form.

EP107-Como Conservatory Pt.1

Grab your headphones and take a walk with us through the historic Como Park Conservatory in St. Paul! In part one of this two-part series, we explore the lush tropical dome, share our first impressions, and talk about what makes this century-old glasshouse such a special place for plant lovers. Expect plenty of awe, laughter, and the kind of plant-nerd excitement only a conservatory can spark. From towering palms to delicate ferns, join us as we soak in the beauty, swap stories, and rediscover the joy of seeing plants up close and in person.

EP105-Office Plants

Ever tried keeping plants alive in a cubicle—or under fluorescent lights? This week, we’re joined by Cassandra to share our own experiences growing plants in office settings. From the successes to the struggles, we talk about what thrives (and what definitely doesn’t) when your desk becomes your plant’s home. Expect stories about creative plant setups, lessons learned from neglected greenery, and the little victories that make office plants surprisingly rewarding. If you’ve ever tried to bring life to your workspace, this episode is for you.
