Keynote Speaker: Rooted in Reason

Service Description

Over years of trial, error, and real growth, Derek Haynes—The Chocolate Botanist—has developed and discovered plant hacks that actually work. Rooted in Reason goes beyond repeating trends to highlight original, field-tested techniques backed by real science. This course explores why these hacks work, what scientific principles support them, and how to use the same logic to develop your own. You’ll learn methods that pull from biology, chemistry, and environmental science—like turning eggshells into liquid calcium, using aquariums for microclimate control, or fighting fungus gnats with targeted microbes. Through clear breakdowns and live demos, you’ll gain the knowledge to create personalized, effective plant solutions rooted in reasoning—not just routine.
