    The Quest for Sustainable Cut Flowers

In this episode I’m exploring the sustainability of cut flowers. My guest is Fiona Porter, a cut flower grower from the Cotswolds in England. We discuss just what the problem is, how best to source sustainably grown flowers and what you can do to start growing a few flowers for cutting in your own garden.

    Houseplant therapy: the benefits of houseplants

    House plants have a significant positive impact on our mental health, improving our moods, reducing stress, and increasing productivity and concentration too. Throughout the COVID pandemic, with many of us confined to our homes, the psychological benefits of houseplants became even more evident. In this episode, I sit down with some passionate plant enthusiasts about their journey with keeping houseplants. I speak with a jewelry designer from Hereford, a botanical illustrator from London, a yoga instructor from Plymouth, and a business coach from Pretoria in South Africa. We talk about their journeys with house plants, what they have found easy and hard and what benefits they personally think their indoor jungles bring to their lives and mental health. Make yourself a cup of tea and listen to our lovely conversations in this episode.
