In this week’s episode, Lindsay walks the ladies through the garden to spin tales of small but mighty magical creatures: Flower Fairies. As the Cote de Rose is sipped, the ladies discover their tarot card personalities, congratulate Sammy on being awesome and have their own Poltergeist moment. So grab your favorite chilled rose and hold tight to your cactus, Ladies Who Live in Flowers will have you clapping for fairies again.
