Welcome.

After last week's tantrum, I'm back to my usual calm and happy state this week, bringing you another instalment in my leaf botany series with plant biologist Beronda L Montgomery.

Here to talk about what plants know and her new book Lessons from Plants.

Plus I answer a question about plants to keep in your shower.

A warm welcome to this week's new Patreon subscribers.

Janet, Lisa, Chris, Danielle and Donna became legends.

Megan became a super fan and Ray became a crazy plant person.

Thanks to all of you.
