Have you ever wondered why you shouldn't bring snowdrops into your home? Or what happens when you hear bluebells rings?

Then this podcast is for you.

There will be monthly episodes from me, Sarah Rushbrooke. I’m a florist, a flower nerd and folklore fanatic. Each episode focuses on a specific flower, it's lore and unusual floral facts.
