  • Our Plant Stories

    I was introduced to this podcast via another podcast - 'On the ledge' - and you listen to that you will enjoy this one! A lovely blend of horticulture and human stories - like having a chat to a friend whilst doing a bit of pruning or potting up. Delivered in a sincere and warmly friendly way by Sally. Definitely one to share with any planty friends 😊

  • For plant lovers

    I enjoy listening to this podcast with so many varied stories which link plants and people. Sally devotes so much time to researching different plant stories and delivers each one in a fascinating tale. It’s a great antidote to a hard week or to the abundance of miserable news to be able to share in these lovely stories.
