S2 E4 - Remembered cures: The long history of connection between plants, human and animal health

In this episode we talk to sheep farmer and ethnobotanist William Milliken who works at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. He researches the relationship between plants and people, how we've used plants to cure ourselves for generations. Much of his research has centred on an Irish collection that is a treasury of ancestral knowledge of traditional cures for animals and people.
