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.

Welcome to ReRooted, the podcast seeking to rekindle our relationship with the natural world and revive the essence of rootedness within us all.
ReRooted is an interview series which aims to reconnect us with the land, the seasons, and the natural world. With planetary well-being at the heart of our mission, we have been travelling around the UK to learn from the incredible people working at the forefront of this movement.
From two inspiring regenerative farmers on the Isle of Wight to wild swimmers and botanists, we hope these conversations compel you to help protect our beautiful planet and spend a little more time outside.
Working on this project over the past few months has been the most wonderful and inspiring experience. We've learnt so much from the brilliant guests we’ve interviewed and cannot wait to share their stories with you!
