Carrie Woods loves plants (what's in a name, right?!). Her love affair with the outdoors started at a time before cell phones and internet. A time when parents could cut their kids loose on the neighborhood and expect them back at dinner and that was ok, normal and encouraged. It hadn't occurred to Carrie, who now has a career in academia, to go to College until she saw the film Medicine Man*. But from then on her dreams were in the rainforest canopy. *In the episode we mistakenly refer to the Medicine Man as the Rain Man movie- OOPS!
