More about The Plant Detective
The Plant Detective began as a project of the University of Montana School of Pharmacy and continued with support from Bastyr University (Seattle), Tai Sophia Institute (Maryland), the Vermont Center for Integrative Medicine, and the American Botanical Council (Austin, TX). Beth produced, wrote, and voiced the show, with Montana Public Radio. Program sponsors over the years included the American Society for Plant Biology, Frontier Herbs (Iowa), and Genuine Scooters (Chicago). From 2007-2013, The Plant Detective played on over 100 radio stations across the country and in Canada and the Philippines. Beth produced and sold a Flora Delaterre coloring book, Medicinal Plants of North America, illustrated by DD Dowden, cover art by Anna Veltfort, and featuring both pictures and lore for kids.
Beth began producing radio in 1994 as a volunteer with a collectively produced women’s radio show called In Other Words on Montana Public Radio. She’s forever grateful to In Other Words for the skills, opportunity, and fun it provided.
