This week on We Dig Plants Alice and Carmen sit down with Margot Berwin to talk about the plants most consistently linked with desire, passion, love, and lust. Margot is the author of “Hothouse Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire”, a semi-autobiographical fiction about a woman in NYC who, to her surprise, falls in love with tropical plants, ends up in the rainforest, and finds true love amidst the palms and poisonous frogs. Learn the inspiration for Margot’s book, her relationship with plants and the city, and who she’d like to play her in the (potentially upcoming) movie version of the novel.
