This week on We Dig Plants Carmen and Alice talk about the dark side of plants and the brave and/or evil gardeners with hearts cold or souls dark enough to use them. In this episode they cover plants that can kill or injure, plants used for dark magic or love potions, and plants that induce dreams, visions, or terrifying hallucinations. Tune in to learn about plants that were used to make (accidentally) deadly rosary beads, plants with beautiful toxic berries, and even a plant whose roots will kill your dog! AhhH!! This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch: purveyors of grass-fed beef from the California coast.
