When we hear the word “poaching,” most of us probably think of animals. But plants are being poached too, and even more so now with the recent houseplant boom.
Baratunde Thurston meets Stephen Camp, an all-around plant lover, who became a plant parent during the Pandemic. Houseplants have brought him much joy and allowed him to remain connected to nature even within the confines of his home. It's also exposed him to the illegal plant trade. With more people becoming plant parents, Stephen hopes to educate and raise awareness about this issue.
America Outdoors: Understory is a six-part KZread series inspired by the PBS broadcast series America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston.
