Most interviews feature one guest.

This one did, too…plus almost an entire garden.

Tune in to our relaxed and wide-ranging chat with vegan musician and performer Lila Rose, whose compassionate art grows at the intersection of music, nature, and her unique outlook on life.

And stick around until the very end for the hidden music of the natural world... as we finally get to hear what the plants have to say via their own photosynthetized-synthesizer soundtrack!

Because.....more for us. 😏🌱
