S03:E10 Bats!

The Garden Thyme Podcast

Hello Listener,

It's Spooky Season! In this month's episode, we sit down with Leslie Sturges of the Bat Conservation & Rescue of Virginia to talk about bats. We chat about how much we love bats and why you should also. She tells us all about the types of bat you can find in Maryland (9:53), Whitenose syndrome (17:03), how bats rear their young (23:24), and echolocation (25:50). We also put some of the vampire and other bat myths to rest (40:30).

We also have our:

• Native Plant of the Month - American Persimmon (51:15)
• Bug of the Month - Twisted winged parasites (45:01)
• Garden Tips of the Month (58:25)
