Stems Leaves & Roots with Dani

Dani

This podcast is about everything plants. It is in episodic format. The first few were dedicated to kitchen gardens. I talk about indoor plants and making your gardens stress-free. And on a budget!

I also have minis on women who paved the way for women like myself in this industry. From the first to get degrees in horticulture, to the women who made it easier for us modern gals to study at places like Burnley

In 2025, I start a new imagining of bites. These are about my favourite plants and how you will also fall in love with them. I will tell you about how to grow them.

In the future, I hope to have some interviews with women in horticulture of today.

Apologies, I know I say this is episode 13, but its actually episode 12! The update I did a few eps ago stuffed me about.
Why should we have chickens in our backyards? How many can you have in the Suburbs? This does have a warning due to the brief talk on chicken death BUT. I will let you know when to fast forward.

Mini 8 Caroline"Louisa" Atkinson 1834-1872

Apologies for the hiatus that gripped me through Winter. Will be touching more on this in the next full episode.
Apologies also for the horrendous pronunciation of certain words, for example, notoriety and Latin names of plants. (A blooper reel will be coming out with me stumbling over such words)
This lady was known in the plant world, literary world, and Art world. She also dabbled in geology and was remembered as a woman who didn't conform to the women of that era. Opting for trousers instead of the frilly dresses, hats, and gloves of that era.
