Listen "In conversation with Catherine Drummond Herdman"
Episode Synopsis
Catherine Drummond Herdman has the most fascinating story. Her home, Megginch Castle, situated between Perth and Dundee, has been in the family since 1660. Borne of generations of plantspeople, it's not at all surprising to hear Catherine's deep relationship with plants, the soil and her heritage. In this very warm and wonderful conversation, Catherine talks about her cancer diagnosis and recovery, the healing and purpose that plants brought her, and her tea and apple growing passions. Catherine has an orchard of over1,400 trees representing over 800 varieties of apples - part of the National Apple Collection. She also has a bloodhound - Ella - a huge and glorious creature that Catherine works with to track down lost dogs. Listening to Catherine is a joyful, hopeful and wonderful experience, one that we hope you will enjoy.
