Do you want to be a cool dude, going out into the woods, forgoing societal duties, living amongst the mosses, but don't know where to start? Lily Rice will discuss her experiences botanizing, what it means to botanize, and a few nice things to make your lives easier (but aren't not necessary).
In addition, Lily will recount her amateurish attempt at finding a rare Ohio orchid, Platanthera ciliaris, as well many other amazing plants (that she did actually find).
As an episode-ending palate cleanser Lily's wife, Kassandra Rice, agreed to talk about her layperson interests in hiking and discovering new organisms.

What is the US' most irrigated crop, and why does Lily Rice dislike it?
In this episode, Lily talks about different ways we can beautify our landscape, while also considering native wildlife. A discussion with close friend & voice actor, Marcus Freeman, ensues after. They discuss the ways gardening has changed their lives, a war with squirrels, native wildlife habitats, and finally a botanical game is played.
Sit down, relax, and spend some time immersed in the ways we can personally help prevent habitat destruction.
