Welcome to the first PROPER episode of Into The Foliage.

Embracing plants is not something we see enough of in mainstream media however this months guest on Into The Foliage certainly changes that. Author & botanist Leif Bersweden joins Jan & Ryan to chat about his love for the green side of nature & his fascination of orchids.

Leif tells us how he became an expert of UK wild plant identification, shares the story of his love for a certain oak tree & blows Jan & Ryan's mind when telling tales of life of orchids.
