Om denne podcast
The Times Newspaper described this podcast as:
‘Innovative and fascinating… a deep dive into the stories about all things plant-related.’
A finalist in both the Independent Podcast Awards and the Garden Media Guild Awards, 'Our Plant Stories' explores how plants often root us to a place or a person, or perhaps a time when we needed the healing power of plants in our lives.
Hearing another's passion for a plant, can leave us wanting to grow it and so we always learn how to do this. So whether your passion is for flowers, trees, shrubs, vegetables or houseplants - you will find a story in this podcast.
Our Plant Stories is produced and presented by a former BBC Radio Producer: Sally Flatman.
