Show Notes
In this episode of Two Tipsy Plants, we pour a generous glass of sauvignon blanc and dig into the lush world of green infrastructure — where plants meet pavement to make our cities cooler, cleaner, and more climate-friendly. From rain gardens to green roofs and tree-lined streets, we chat (and sip) about how urban greenery isn’t just pretty, it’s powerful. Expect laughter, leafy facts, and a few wine-induced tangents. Cheers to building greener futures, one plant and one pour at a time!
Wine: Oyster Bay Sparkling Cuvee Brut, Marlborough, New Zealand
