ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
A non-serious podcast *loosely* about books and plants! Florist/garden enthusiast ValVal and graphic designer/illustrator LeeLee met when they were teens at nerd camp and have been nerding together ever since. In alternating “books” and “blooms” themed episodes, this queer friend duo reads books together, goofs about their lives, and laughs too much. Between Val’s plant stories and Lee’s fun facts, you’ll (probably) learn something.
