Forest Flora meets....: Recent Episodes
None
Plants and gardens are often more than simple pastimes. They can connect deeply with people's memories, beliefs, hopes, and ways of seeing the world. 'Forest Flora meets...' explores this by asking North London residents to tell us about a plant or garden from their past, one from their present, and one from their future.
Forest Flora continues its series of min-podcasts where we ask someone to tell us about a plant or garden from their past, one that's important to them at present and one they'd like to be part of their future.
This episode's guest is Uzma Rasool - she's an elected Councillor representing Grove Green Ward in Leyton on Waltham Forest Council.
