Big Dreams and Tinier Plants

From micro toms (the world’s smallest tomato plant) to miniature orchids, tiny gardens and miniature plants are right up there on the trend list with tiny homes. LA Times predicts that mini plants and tiny trees will be one of the biggest gardening trends of 2021. And this isn’t surprising, because the internet loves miniatures.

Join Mangesh as he learns about why we love tiny plants so much from the person who wrote the book on them, Leslie F. Halleck (Certified Pro Horticulturist and author of the book “Tiny Plants”). Mangesh also discovers the connection between tiny houses and tiny plants with brothers, Jesse and Ethan Waldman. And we catch up with comedian Anjelah Johnson-Reyes and learn about her own growing obsession and her thoughts on these adorable mini plants and their hilarious names.
