I'm looking for an sPatch tutorial, and am wondering if anyone could
provide me with a link. I'm especially interested in organic modeling,
specifically plants, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My sPatch advice is:

1. Use it for simple, cute objects.  It can make marvelously wonderful
shapes with about 15 minutes and 150 keystrokes.  If you spend 2 hours
refining and refining and refining an object,  you [at least I do] will
end up with a model that looks worse and worse.

2.  Try making everything out of lathes.  For example, make a human head
by making a profile of one side of the head. Then lathe it and make
adjustments from there!

3. (Repeat) make things cute and simple! Break into many little
different parts!
