  <title>Leif Bersweden - Botanist, Author + Nature Communicator</title>
  <description> In episode 043 Elle chats with Leif Bersweden, botanist, author and nature&amp;amp;nbsp;  communicator. Leif Bersweden is a writer and botanist with a lifelong interest in nature, focusing on wild plants from the age of seven. He grew up in rural Wiltshire where he taught himself how to identify the local flora, eventually becoming a botanical tutor for The Species Recovery Trust. In 2016, Leif graduated from Oxford University with a degree in Biology and has completed a PhD at Kew Gardens. In a world where an interest in botany is becoming increasingly rare, he wants to help put plants back on the map and is endeavouring to do this through his teaching, research and publications. Leif’s first book, The Orchid Hunter&amp;amp;nbsp;was published in 2017 and his second, Where the Wildflowers Grow in 2022.
