Before Michael Pollen became nationally known for his best-selling book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, he was just a good journalist who wrote interesting things about how we as humans interact with nature. One of his fantastic works was 2002's "The Botany of Desire," a look into how four plants: apples, tulips, marijuana, and potatoes, evolved with humans to use us just as much as we use them. Now, the wonderful folks over at PBS are broadcasting a documentary based on the book. Those in the Twin Cities can catch it on TPT next Wednesday, July 28th at 8:30pm.
