So much we didn't know about the wonderful world of plants.

In this compilation, double-header episode discussing some of Jono's sketches that cover fascinating elements of botany, we are joined by 2-time gold medal winner at the world famous Chelsea Flower Show, author of 6 best-selling books, and ambassador for Kew Gardens; celebrated botanist, James Wong.

Rather than edit out a tonne of insightful, educational discussion points from James, we decided to publish this episode in two parts. This is Part 2.

The sketches we discussed are:

• Heat Islands
• The Browse Line
• The Hungry Gap
• Phoenix Trees
• Nurse Logs
• How to make your own Fresh Air

This last sketch was based on a TED talk by Kamal Meattle - and it's an interesting listen to hear how James dissects the theory behind it.

It was also a delight to discover that all 4 of us attended the University of Bath at the same time.

Please consider giving us a review or subscribing to our podcast on your podcast player. It really helps.

Please also consider putting in a pre-order for Jono's Sketchplanations book: Big Ideas, Little Pictures. Out very soon now.
