Once a bright eyed high schooler reading food of the gods and picking blue meanie mushrooms near Nimbin, Darren Williams grew up to spread seeds of exotic species far and wide. From horticultural R & D, to stand out fruits on clumping Trichocereus huasca, to finger lime hybrids and huffing strange psychoactive petals from a bag. This flora fuelled conversation follows Darren’s journey with obscure psychoactive and edible plants, to the magical plant petri dish that Herbalistics is today.
