Today we’re geeking out over plants that refuse to die—featuring a desert blob that drinks coastal fog, Antarctic grass that skips the rules of botany, and the ultimate resurrection plant.
Grab a drink, hit play, and let’s toast to the real overachievers of the plant kingdom

We dive into the LEGO Botanical Collection and the living plants that sparked each design. From wildflower bouquet individual plants to cherry blossoms, we compare brick-built forms with real-world botany: how truthful the form is, if we enjoyed building the set and some fun facts about real plants!

We’re back with Part 2 of our deep dive into Green Infrastructure! 🍷🌱 This time, we’re pouring another glass and exploring how plants don’t just make cities prettier—they make them smarter. From rain gardens to green roofs, we unpack how these living systems help fight floods, clean the air, and keep our communities thriving. Cheers to plants saving the world, one leaf at a time!

Wine: Riunite Lambrusco Emilia IGT

In this episode of Two Tipsy Plants, we pour a generous glass of sauvignon blanc and dig into the lush world of green infrastructure — where plants meet pavement to make our cities cooler, cleaner, and more climate-friendly. From rain gardens to green roofs and tree-lined streets, we chat (and sip) about how urban greenery isn’t just pretty, it’s powerful. Expect laughter, leafy facts, and a few wine-induced tangents. Cheers to building greener futures, one plant and one pour at a time!
