See flowers empowered as the Beards take you on a journey through the secret life of plants
Remember the old-timey plant cabarets that your grandmama and granddaddy used to go to on a Saturday night? Well, take a stroll down memory lane at the Eatin-Good Family Plant Cabaret, hosted by Jebediah Eatin-Good himself! Flowers, weeds, and vegetables take center stage to share traditional plant cabaret favorites including bluegrass, cowboy songs, country music, and the occasional torch song. In Bitter Homes and Gardens, The Bearded Ladies take us back to our roots in this outdoor cabaret that asks: if plants had voices, what would they sing?
