As the second Garden Gab Club meeting is called to order, Tessa and Molly kick off the discussion with a debrief on Molly's recent trip to Iowa for the Perennial Plant Association National Symposium. They dive into all things prairies vs. meadows, plant communities, and the humbling essence of "corn sweat." During the Down Home Committee Meeting, Tessa unpacks her current battle plan to take down summer mosquitos, her bounty of tomatoes, and a mystery book reveal that Molly is currently coveting.
