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.

Liz Elton is an artist whose work looks at waste and the recycling of matter. She sometimes thinks she \"sees the world through her compost bin\". For the past few years she has been photographing the compost caddy in her kitchen. The images are beautiful. In this episode we also learn how to compost from gardener and writer Helen Hutchings-Cox who also has a passion for compost and how it is vital for soli health. And we hear how composting, from their different perspectives, has for both of them changed their views of the world.
