The Plant Based Podcast Michael Perry & Ellen Mary

Ever wondered where the plants on film and TV sets come from? In this episode @mr_plantgeek and @ellenmarygardening chat with Justin and Gabor from Greens Team. Based in Pinewood Studios, they provide natural set dressing for many TV shows and films that you're probablty enjoying right now - from Star Wars to Barbie and many more. Hear how things come together on set, how accuracy is important but not always as much as you’d think plus what happens to the plants afterwards.

In this weeks episode, Michael speaks to Riz Reyes of Heronswood Garden in the USA, and they find they have a lot in common. We think you’re really enjoy this conversation, as Michael is very honest about his upbringing, and insecurities. Michael and Riz compare notes on all aspects of growing up as a bit of a misfit, but with the comfort of a passion for plants! They both grew up hiding amongst the plants, as they didn’t enjoy their school years, but plants always had their back!!
