Podcast Overview

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. If you have a plant story you would like to share, then do contact: sally@ourplantstories.com and take a look at the website www.ourplantstories.com This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
