Bites Of Nature: Episode Five
WOODLAND WONDERS WITH JAMES WONG
For the final guest of the series, botanist, presenter and self-confessed ‘plant geek’, James Wong, explains how enjoying nature is a true form of self-care. Listen as James Wong and Jasmine Hemsley trade tips on houseplant maintenance, discuss how to create luscious and wild views from an inner-city windowsill’s and why their favourite Christmas gifts to give loved ones, are the ones that bloom and grow.
EPISODE SUMMARY
London-based James, lives with over 500 houseplants, something which has given him endless hours of fascination and allows him to do a spot of gardening even if it’s 10pm at night and thunder storming.
During this fascinating episode, James shares his thoughts on how the most beautiful spots of nature aren’t always located in far flung exotic jungles and beaches; but rather in the greenery of London parks, the butterfly hotspots of the English countryside and the multisensory meanders through natural British woodland.
Guiding you to the end of the episode, take a walk with Jasmine as she leads you through a meditation in a green forest filled with some of Britain’s greatest trees to find a sun soaked clearing that will allow a sense of calmness to slowly settle around you.
