Stems Leaves & Roots with Dani
This podcast is about everything plants. It is in episodic format. The first few were dedicated to kitchen gardens. I talk about indoor plants and making your gardens stress-free. And on a budget!
I also have minis on women who paved the way for women like myself in this industry. From the first to get degrees in horticulture, to the women who made it easier for us modern gals to study at places like Burnley
In 2025, I start a new imagining of bites. These are about my favourite plants and how you will also fall in love with them. I will tell you about how to grow them.
In the future, I hope to have some interviews with women in horticulture of today.
