Plant Daddies, Miracle-Bros and the Seeds of Modern Masculinity

Who says gardening and tending to the flowers is a gendered activity? From house plants to flowers, the plant daddies and Miracle-Bros are infusing their personality into growing culture and redefining what masculinity means. In this episode, Mango reconnects with friend of the pod <a href="https://mrplantgeek.com/">Michael “Mr. Plant Geek” Perry</a> as they talk about living your truth among the plants. New York drag queen <a href="https://www.instagram.com/missleidytheplantlady/?hl=en">Missleidy The Plant Lady</a> stops by and reads men based on their plant preferences. We’ll also hear from men across the country about their own views on plant care and masculinity. For more helpful tips on gardening, check out the <a href="https://www.miraclegro.com/en-us/library">Miracle-Gro Website</a> and learn about <a href="https://www.miraclegro.com/en-us/library/flowers-landscaping/learning-about-orchids-carlos-franco">Orchids with Floral Designer Carlos Franco</a> or discover <a href="https://www.miraclegro.com/en-us/library/flowers-landscaping/vertical-gardening-jim-cunneen">Vertical Gardening with Gardenier Jim Cunneen</a>.
