Who knew plants were carnivors! Meet Botanist Leif Bersweden

Leif is a botanist and author. He first book is called ‘the
orchid hunter’ and his new book ‘where the wildflowers grow’ will
be released this summer. In case you thought that writing a book
wasn't enough of an achievement he has also just finished a PhD
at Kew Gardens.


This was an absolutely fascinating episode about how incredibly
intelligent and adaptive plants are, so much so that Aisling and
Gemma have decided it might be worth giving up a career in
meteorology to go and study the secret life of plants!


There are so many great moments in this episode and we urge you
to sit back, grab a cuppa and prepare to be amazed about what you
didn't know about plants.
