In today's episode, we are going to talk about Ferns! They are one of the oldest plants on the planet, probably older than you think! We'll highlight some of their history, where some of the most popular ones come from, and talk about some of the common varieties we see today.
From maidenhairs to resurrection ferns, there are a ton of interesting ferns spread across the world today! They're ancient, delicate, and exotic; something we've used in movies and media as a key to imagining what landscapes of the past look like. We also use them as food and medicine, and they make beautiful interesting houseplants. We talk about just how old these plants are and some of the ones that still influence us today.
Thanks for listening!
