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.

At the heart of the plant story was a book - How to Make a Wildlife Garden by Chris Baines. In the episode she met the author for the first time and they talked about their approaches to wildlife garden. In this Offshoot episode, I wander around the gardens with Anne, accompanied by many buzzing insects which you will hear as they whizz past the microphone! She picks out some of her favourite plants to attract butterflies and bees and I'll share the names of them on the website - Ourplantstories.com Our Plant Stories is presented and produced by Sally Flatman The music is Fade to Black by Howard Levy Can I share my plant story with you?
