It’s not easy being green — plants have feelings, too.
According to a Washington State University-led study, plants can sense when something touches them and lets go. We’ll learn more about how plants respond to touch and how they use their sensitivity as a superpower.
Plus, your family’s not the only one who runs on a schedule — your yard and garden do, too. We’ll learn how to use nature’s calendar — phenology — to manage and maintain your garden throughout the year.
On Cincinnati Edition, we talk about the secret life of plants, how to use a phenology calendar, and take your gardening questions at 513-419-7100 and talk@wvxu.org.
