You’ll hear captivating stories about emperors and warlords, narrow escapes from extinction, geographic mysteries, living works of art, evolution, medicine and continental drift. Our travels will take us from a remote Chinese monastery to a secluded riverbank in Georgia. Every story will enrich your appreciation for many of the plants we grow right here in the Pacific Northwest. Expect to be surprised!
