We sure need plants

Episode notes

A big ol' love letter to plants, this one. Dried ones especially. And our first returning guest!

Clare Brown of S2 E7 fame is back to tell us all about herbaria. Herbarium? Herbariums. Dried plant specimens, stored in our collection at Leeds Discovery Centre. Why should we collect them? How do we dry them? Stick your nose in a female plant, and what does it smell like?

Big thanks to Clare, and big thanks to you for listening. If you liked the episode, listen, subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and all the usual podcast suspects.
