In August 2023, seven young people took part in Chelsea Physic Garden's third and final Plants Have Secrets digital youth project. The group made a podcast episode to feature on Chelsea Physic Garden's main podcast. The participants learned about plants that are featured in our historic glasshouses, following their restoration in 2023. Some participants were inspired by plants elsewhere in the Garden. The young people worked in small teams to produce podcast segments that were put together by Ned Sedgwick, the producer and one of the hosts of Chelsea Physic Garden's podcast. They were passionate about their chosen subjects. They created insightful and engaging content to listen to. After hearing the podcast episode, you may see the featured plants in a completely different light. Subjects covered were plants from the Andes, the Opium Wars, privilege and gardening, chocolate and the symbology of plants.

The gang wonders how to avoid passive aggression, fights and cheese theft in a house share. Sophie Duker, Heidi Regan and Ned Sedgwick are joined by comedian and veteran housemate Alex Edelman to talk about flat 'pre-nups', annoying pranks and 'friendly' notes of complaint. Sophie wants to decriminalise communal food theft, Heidi researches whether living alone is a healthy pursuit and Ned puts some newly devised house rules to his significant other. Luckily, Steve Ali is here to put everything into perspective with a sobering account of living in a refugee camp. Co-created by Deborah Frances-White for The Spontaneity Shop and BBC Radio 4. Produced by Al Riddell. Music by Mark Hodge and Omahrose, produced by Nick Sheldon.
