    A few years ago, I happened to stumble upon a wonderful podcast called In Defense of Plants. I was introduced to a whole community of people that were driven by their plant passion, and I would listen to Dr. Matt Candeias talk each week with someone new. Now, some years later, I have gotten the chance to read Dr. Matt's new book titled "In Defense Of Plants: An Exploration into the Wonder of Plants," and I review in this week's episode!! This is the first episode in the Afternoon Tea section of The Plant Passion Podcast, so please feel free to let me know what you think. Long story short, this is the best book of 2021 and I think each and every person should read it!!!
