In episode 5, we cover the surge in home horticulture spurred by the pandemic, with apartment dwellers and homeowners all over the country—and indeed the world—filling their homes with greenery at a time when almost everyone was stuck indoors. NYBG’s Marc Hachadourian, Senior Curator of Orchids and Director of Glasshouse Horticulture, joins us for a chat on the ways conservatory and botanical garden horticulture have influenced our day-to-day lives with plants, from popularizing certain species of houseplants to their impact on cultivation and care. We’ll also discuss the other side of this sudden leap in everyone’s passion for houseplants, including wild plant poaching and the conservation efforts being made to stop it.
