In this episode, Irene Chen visits a deeply personal tropical garden cultivated over 11 years by her plant friend Juni. As they walk through layers of lush growth, Juni reflects on her hands-on journey—sharing practical insights on pruning, repotting, propagation, and understanding each plant’s individual needs. The conversation moves naturally from technique to philosophy, touching on edible plants, experimentation, and the freedom of developing a garden that reflects one’s own rhythm rather than strict rules. The tour celebrates gardening as a long conversation between time, care, and personal expression.
