Our Favourite Plant Podcasts

We are always looking for new ways to learn about plants. While we love finding new ways to learn about plant care, podcasts are a way to connect in a different way about a wide range of plant life topics. Having listened to an extraordinary amount of podcasts on the topic, we have put together our top 3 personal favourites. In addition to providing practical tips on houseplant care, these podcasts also explore our relationships with plants and nature.
