Plants, Castles and More - Oh My!

Good Morning, Everyone,

We hope all is well where you are.

We’re back with another set of papers, blogs and books to pique your interest and, hopefully, support you and your colleagues in your professional development. Everything below comes highly recommended from a range of TDaPE guests and I think there’s a good chance that there’s something for everyone. Happy trails.

That’s all for this week. Let us know if you enjoyed any of the recommendations - via X, in the podcast review section (Spotify have upped their game in this respect recently) or even by replying to this email. However you choose to get in touch, it will be warmly received.

Until next time, thanks for listening.
