Leaf it to Us

Welcome to Leaf it to Us, where we take plants out of the background and talk about this fascinating group that’s so essential to us as humans.

This podcast is a descendant of Common Descent. David and Will don’t talk enough about plants, so we have branched off and said Leaf it to Us!

Listen on Podbean, Spotify, or wherever you find your podcasts!
