Welcome to the very first episode of Coffee Time and Plant Talks! I’m your host, Nataliya—a plant scientist, educator, and lifelong lover of plants.
In this short and sweet intro episode, I’m sharing the heart behind this podcast and how my love for plants began back in my childhood garden in Ukraine. From those early moments digging in the soil with my mom to earning my PhD in Horticulture in the U.S., I’ve spent a lifetime growing with plants—and now I’m inviting you to join me on this journey.
You’ll learn what to expect from this show (hint: casual chats, fascinating plant science, and warm conversations with inspiring guests), plus a fun plant fact you’ll want to tell a friend: some flowers can actually “hear”!
So grab your coffee or tea, take a breath, and settle in. Whether you’re a beginner plant parent or a seasoned grower, you’re welcome here.
