  • The Podcast I Never Knew I Needed

    Just started listening after having procrastinated for far too long and so glad I finally gave the show a try! I’ve already learned so much about light, spines vs thorns, and fungus gnats. I keep bookmarking episodes as I move my way backwards. Such a calming (for me) and informative podcast!
