"I always knew you were special; then I discovered that you are very special - and evolutionary anachronism, a scientific miracle."

In this episode, Jessamine does things a little differently and explores the life of the avocado pit instead of the fruit. She talks with farmer Tom Siddons about the science of growing the avocado from seed and artist Maria Elena Pombo about how she uses the seed to bind us to a past and present community narrative.
