Our Plant StoriesAuthor: Sally Flatman
Our Plant Stories - digging into the stories that plants tell us about people and places. This is a podcast that shares personal stories about plants. Plants often root us, perhaps to a garden, a country, or maybe to a person who loved them and taught us to love them too. By sharing these stories, we grow our plant knowledge through the experience, passions and sometimes quite remarkable knowledge of other plant growers and we will always learn how to grow the plant. It's presented by Sally Flatman, a former BBC Radio producer.
