Our bond with the seasons, the land, and the natural world has grown increasingly distant.
The sense of being firmly connected to the earth beneath our feet has faded, and the delicate roots of nature itself are dwindling beneath our steps.
Through the ReRooted podcast, we aspire to rekindle this profound connection and revive the essence of rootedness within us all.
To connect with the seasons is to connect with the Earth’s natural rhythms, so we’ll be releasing episodes seasonally, ReRooting ourselves to the changing environment around us.
Our first episodes will be released in the depths of winter, in January 2024, with the blues in full swing and listeners in need of comfort and hope.
We’ll focus on the lives of regenerative farmers during the colder months; on growers and planters tending to their rewilded plots; and on the activists hoping to open up our countryside to all, especially at a time of year where it feels the hardest to get outside.

This week, we’re joined by the brilliant botanist, writer and nature communicator, Leif Bersweden!
Leif recently finished a PhD at Kew Gardens where he focused on the fascinating reproductive behaviours of four types of orchids, or, to put it a little more salaciously ‘the secret sex life of anthropomorphic orchids’. Leif is also the author of two highly commended books: Where the Wildflowers Grow and The Orchid Hunter, both recounting his journeys around Britain and Ireland in search of fascinating plant life.
Leif’s mission is to encourage us all to pay attention to the plants between the cracks in the pavements, the wildflowers hidden in plain sight, and the nature that can be found in the most unexpected of places.
