107. Will Power! How to Tend to Your Shakespearean Garden w/ Flowers & Herbs

Upside Down Tulips - A Garden Podcast

What Ho! This week Leslie and Christy try to class up the joint with their take on a Shakespearian Garden. From Romeo and Juliet to Hamlet to A Midsummers Night’s Dream, we give you some beautiful verses from the Bard of Avon - and some tips and tricks on some of the flora and fauna from his plays. We cover familiar plants like roses, pansies, daisies, lavender, mint, parsley, bachelor buttons, and marigolds. And then we gift you with the knowledge of rue, crow flowers, woodbine, musk rose, oxlips, and eglantine.

Oh – and we have fun Shakespearean Pod Plays, too! And some really bad Shakespearean Puns. You are gonna feel so much smarter and joyful!

And we have updates on Leslie’s first attempt at Winter Sowing, Christy’s Forsythia - and what is growing the best so far. Spoiler: It’s Weeds. Fortunately, we have a great garden inspiration from Henry IV, Part 2 about weeding. Good cheer, dear gardeners!
