South African botanist Finn Rautenbach shares how growing up on the edge of the Knysna Forest shaped his intimate connection with plants, then takes us into his work with wild-harvest Pelargonium sidoides (African geranium) and its traceable, sustainable supply network, plus his focus on cultivating Sceletium tortuosum (kanna) to reduce poaching while maintaining quality through careful post-harvest processing.
