We are joined on the Growing Up Podcast by James Wong, Ethnobotanist, presenter, and author of the amazing series 'Grow Your Own Drugs'. He is also a current panelist on the BBC Radio 4 programme, Gardeners' Question Time.   We chat to James about his story but fundamentally why plants matter, the provable benefits that they bring, and whether growing potatoes if stranded on the surface of the planet Mars is a good idea. We know that you are going to enjoy this chat! 👉 WE HAVE A HUGE FAVOUR TO ASK 👈 Did you enjoy our podcast? We don't have a sponsor at the moment but love recording these pods and sharing the joy of growing with you. We sometimes have to travel, hire a studio or buy cups of tea and biscuits for our amazing guests. If you are enjoying the podcast and are able to do so we've inserted a link below this text where you can buy us and our guests a coffee. NEVER any pressure to do so. Thank you. Buy ourselves and our guests a coffee 👍 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/growinguppodcast More in-depth growing advice 📺
