About The Cultivating Curiosity Podcast

We all interact with the world of plants differently, whether we wander aimlessly through the woods, bite into a crisp apple, prefer that soft cotton t-shirt or actively dig in the dirt. Each experience with the world of plants, whether intentional or not, leaves its mark on our lives. The delicate whisper of vining tendril, draped eloquently across the trellis, others pendulous carrying their weighted gift of fruit. The reminder in our muscles, the day following the turnover of the fall garden. Contrasting colors, erupting luxuriously across the landscape. Gazing dreamily into the fractured sunlight through the canopy. Plants are endlessly fascinating and inspiring, representing the intricate systems upon which life balance. This podcast was developed to share our fascination, curiosity, joy, and knowledge with you. Each month we delve into different topics from the world of plants, interviewing experts and energetic enthusiasts. We look forward to cultivating your curiosity for the fascinating world of plants!
