The garden is my favorite escape from stress, of course, but as I have confessed before on the podcast, I sometimes succumb to the lure of swiping my way through Instagram during non-garden hours, like so many millions of us modern-day citizens.

Lately, I’ve been enjoying the short, information-packed videos from today’s guest, a gardener who goes by the screen name of Flora & Frost, and thanks to the way Instagram works, I can see that a number of my keenest garden friends also follow her. So I thought I’d invite her over to chat awhile and get to know her better. 

Flora & Frost’s real name, like mine, is Margaret, and she is actually a doctor based in Minnesota. Besides having a name in common, we apparently share the inclination for going down research rabbit holes, in search of answers to all the questions that the experience of gardening and being in nature elicits in us.
