When you think of garden plants, one of the first plants that probably comes to mind is the Garden Pansy, a three toned flower that often adorns outdoor landscaping spaces and Lowes stores. And you'd be right to think that, because this flower has been bred for years as a beautiful addition to many home gardens and the subject of many myths. Come listen to us talk today about the Pansy.
Pansies have been a part of European conciousness for a long time. Going all the way back to the Greeks and Romans, they are surrounded by myth and curiousity for their cute face like petals. Their knowledge in cultural conciousness continued throughout many other European cultures and still are often used as a sign of spring. Known for being a thoughtful plant, it's a common gift for it's cultural meanings and easy care. There's a lot more to know than you probably think, so we hope you'll enjoy today's episode on the Pansy!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
