Every spring supermarket shelves are disgustingly packed with "weed killer" or "instant weed destroyer" or even "weed gone juice", but as we move with the environmental needs of this planet, isn't it time we embrace these weeds or "spontaneous plants" &amp; use them to their full potential to not only help wildlife, but also help ourselves. This week Jan &amp; Ryan are joined by horticulturist, botanist &amp; ecologist Sophie Leguil to discuss the world of weeds &amp; how power these plants can be. From the benefits to the what NOT to do in your garden, Sophie opens the lid of the compost bin of plant knowledge to help us see the flower, among the weed. If you'd like to keep up to date with the projects &amp; work Sophie is working on, you can do so on Twitter @Sleguil / @morethanweeds or on Instagram @more_than_weeds.

Into The Foliage: Spontaneous Plants with Sophie Leguil

This week I’m speaking to biologist and ecologist Sophie Leguil. Sophie is an outspoken and passionate advocate for nature, plants and wildlife and can often be found on social media, helping make sense of complex concepts that affect gardeners and their outdoor spaces. We talk a bit about public spaces, a bit about gardens and urban areas and we touch upon what can happen when you try to stand up for what you believe in. Dr Ian Bedford’s Bug of the Week: Tardegrades About Sophie Leguil: “Trained as a biologist &amp; ecologist, with experience in horticulture, I am fascinated by the natural world in all its forms. I have a soft spot for plants, from the tiniest orchid at the top of a Vietnamese mountain, to the blousiest iris in a 18th century garden. I currently work freelance in the UK and France, as a writer, photographer, speaker, translator and wildlife tour leader. My BSc research focused on pollens of Psychotria (a fascinating genus with ethnobotanical uses), and my MSc on systematics of a small genus of African orchids. I am particularly interested in the love-hate relationship between plant conservation and horticulture, and more specifically how growing plants can help us better understand, preserve and raise awareness on need to conserve plants.” https://naturanaute.com/about/ What we talk about: Rewilding Warren Park Meadows and wildflower planting Sophie’s ‘More Than Weeds’ Project Brownfield sites and their ecological value The future of nature under our current government Links: www.naturanaute.com www.morethanweeds.co.uk Sophie Leguil on Twitter Sophie Leguil on Instagram  More Than Weeds on Twitter
