Make way for tulips! In this episode, Jonathan bravely downs a comically overstuffed cup of foraged weeds and spills the tea on a secret teenage adventures through milkweed forests. Meanwhile, Jeannette attempts to separate art from plants… and immediately falls headfirst into the drama-filled rabbit hole of Semper Augustus and full-blown Tulipomania. Along the way, we assign tulips their astrological sign and see how well it lines up with Jonathan’s birth chart. Expect history, horticulture, astrology, and at least one questionable beverage choice.

Jonathan and Jeannette speed-date Italian and English garden designs. We uncover their green flags, red flags, and all the control freakery hidden behind the hedges. We decide which garden we'd swipe right on and what design principles we’ll steal for our own gardens, and what can stay across the pond.

Is planting by the moon backed by science, or just a superstition that appeals to the chronically online green witch?

But first we give you an update on our thriving (sarcasm) gardens and Jonathan tries hosta shoots! Will they make his pee smell? Jonathan also shares garden tea with two stories on how openly racist this community can be (TW: mentions of racism and sexual assault).
