In today's episode, we immerse ourselves in the realm of Black Plant Favorites, tracing their significance from ancestral origins in Africa to their role in modern day life. We navigate through a mosaic of cultural traditions, culinary delights, medicinal insights, and skincare rituals intricately woven with plant life.

Drawing from a blend of meticulous research and illuminating insights sourced from Rootical Folklore of Scorched Earth Press, we embark on a journey to spotlight plants that resonate deeply within the Black community. Acknowledging the vast diversity of experiences, we recognize the challenge of encapsulating the entirety of Black cultural heritage, yet we strive to illuminate some cherished favorites.

 While the task of narrowing down to just three plants proved daunting, we eagerly anticipate feedback from the Soil Cousins on their own beloved botanicals. Our conversation underscores the vital importance of ongoing field studies and data collection to honor and cherish our enduring relationship with plants, both past and present.

Adding depth to our exploration, we're delighted to welcome back Joshua Hite, aka Plant Zaddy, to add to the discussion and the Watering Moment.
