FLOWER HUNTERS: Orchids, Vanlife & Bears in the Grand Tetons | Season 1 Episode 2

Watch as we blow a fuse in the sprinter van …

Get busted by Park Rangers who think we’re breaking National Park rules.

Almost crash the van on a bumpy back-road.

And come face-to-face with a bear while we’re collecting an orchid.

Our challenge ~ to locate the elusive Fairy Slipper orchid & make a flower remedy to share with you.

Will we find the Fairy Slipper? Or will Mother Nature continue providing us with other treasures hidden in plain sight?

Get your boots on & bear spray ready!
