Very informative
I found this a highly informative series with a healthy dose of humor, allowing the information to never become stale. Without Sue Perkins this series would not work as well. I learnt a lot, they were easy bites of information that allowed for listening on short journeys and whilst having some down time. The chocolate one was particularly well done with many a hint at dark humor. A very worthwhile listen especially as it free on audible currently.

Avoid...irritating.
I've not heard anything as naff as this since 1980s kids tv. Facts punctuated by 'hillarious' skits which just grate.

Aaargghhh
Information is limited by the failed attempts of funny jokes that interrupt the narrative. Not funny, not great, would not recommend.

Brilliant botany...
A charming series, and like the Animals version, I wished the episodes were longer and contained more information, as the tid bits about each plant were fascinating. Sue Perkins is the perfect narrator to maintain an upbeat, engaging, listen.

Worst garbage my ears have listened to.
Feel like I've clicked a horrendous clickbait internet article. Honestly offended this is even available for free.

Very good for putting me to sleep.
I don't know what it is about this book, but I never hear a chapter to the end. What I hear is very interesting and seems witty. But I always fall asleep, so as someone who struggled to sleep, thank you

plants are not designed!
vaguely amusing but she mispronounced chitin and thinks plants were designed. There was no designer, ask Darwin.

Interesting and funny
Some facts that came as quite a surprise. Did you know that bananas are herbs? All the better for a typically amusing performance by Ms Perkings.

Would have loved more with less silly dialogue
This series was really amazing. I absolutely loved the facts that were provided about each plant and truly enjoyed Sue’s sense of humor. HOWEVER, while the characterized dialogue, performed by Sue and another man, that took occurred throughout every episode was funny, there was just WAY too much of it. One or two little snippets sprinkled in each episode would be fine but the stupid scenarios took up more than half of each episode. I still listened to every episode because I sincerely enjoyed the information that was provided but I don’t know if I would recommend the series to someone who has less patience than I do haha! I made my husband listen to one with me and he did not like it at all because of the “side show” that went along with the episode.

Love it
Love Sue. She is funny but not necessarily good for children. Makes learning about new plants interesting.

It funformitive. But for adults.
Great in small doses but since episodes are like 15 minutes at most it is perfect. I like Sue Perkins humor she includes everybody and no one is the butt of her comedy. Thanks for the fun Sue.
