  • Summary

  • In tonight’s episode of 'Sleepy Seedlings: The Bedtime Podcast with Trees', we explore the sweet chestnut tree, a symbol of nourishment and abundance. From its origins in the ancient forests of southern Europe to its role in sustaining mountain communities, the chestnut tree has provided for humanity for thousands of years. Its spiny husks, golden catkins, and glossy brown nuts tell a story of resilience, generosity, and connection to the natural world.


    We’ll journey through time, from the chestnut’s place in Greek and Roman agriculture to its festive traditions in medieval villages, and even its enduring charm as street vendors roast its fruits over glowing coals in winter markets. Along the way, you’ll be invited to imagine a quiet grove of chestnut trees, their autumn leaves glowing softly as the tree whispers its story of abundance. Let this soothing tale guide you gently toward rest and sleep.
