    Happy National Library Week! Bryan and Hannah profess their love for libraries—of the book and seed variety. They'll cover the history of National Library Week, including this year's theme, the origin of seed libraries (and how you can start one too!), and small bookish and planty tangents in between.

    Yeah, we know winter can be a drag. But even if your plants are droopy and your skin is dry, you can still get by. In this inaugural episode, Bryan and Hannah discuss winter plant care (yes, droopy stems are sometimes okay!), self-care (if you don't care for yourself, how can your plants trust you?), and their favorite books that keep them from becoming cold curmudgeons in the winter.
