About this episode
In the December episode, the hosts prune orchard trees, create ink from sloes, and explore wildlife spectacles while celebrating midwinter festivals.
Wrap up warm for our December episode - the last of our 2025 series. We prune our orchard’s sleepy trees, make ephemeral ink from sloes, and visit the coast for one of the UK’s most exciting wildlife spectacles. In the sky, the Geminids are falling - and we’re bringing in the green for the midwinter festivals. As the Season Turns is an award-winning podcast presented by Lia Leendertz and created by Ffern, makers of small-batch, seasonal perfume. To find out more visit www.ffern.co Hosted on Acast.
