Join ecologist, Anja Murray, every Saturday morning at 9.20, for a celebratory journey to the lesser known realms of nature in Ireland.

Episode 7 – Shamrocks

What exactly is the Shamrock?  It is not a species of plant, nor is it a botanical name.  It is an emblem with an identity crisis, representative rather than real.  This week on Nature File we delve in to the origins and practices of the traditional shamrock gathering, as well as the plants that are called shamrock and their role in our folk history and the byways of the country.
