Listen, I'm not saying you *have* to listen to my most recent episode @TheAngryOlogist, butI don't know where else you're going to hear an awesome chat about ecology, conservation, land management, forests, owls, scicomm, possibly antagonistic bear interactions, and much more!

@TheAngryOlogist is one of my favorite people, and I can't wait for you to hear this episode about Get Out Alive, the relationships between plants and animals, science communication, and "possibly antagonistic bear interactions." #getoutalive

Next time can we just make the scarecrow? I'd have definitely probably said nice things about the scarecrow. Also, that planter wouldn't work well at all unless you put in air plant in it. I could get on board with that...almost.

Share the magic of nonfiction with Plants to the Rescue! 💫 🌿🌳 Everyone knows that plants are pretty cool… But does your little one know about the spinach that can send emails? And the fig trees being used to create living bridges? How about the glow-in-the-dark plants?

Written by @ThePlantProf and illustrated by Brian Lambert, this nonfiction book is perfect for kids who love nature and wildlife. They won’t look at plants and trees in the same way again! 📚

Another brilliant #library book which we have enjoyed reading as part of our #NNFN2023 - beautifully illustrated by #BrianLambert and so many interesting things to learn about plants and their positive impact on the planet. A joy of a book and one we would highly recommend. 💜☺️
