Climate Change And Your Garden Wildlife With Mary Porter
07/25/22 • 32 min
Regardless of your views on climate change, July's record UK temperatures, coupled with similar events globally, remind us that something is very definitely afoot. It's an issue gardeners especially have been aware of for some time, particularly those taking an interest in our wildlife - or lack of it!
Our guest this week, Mary Porter, has spent a lifetime championing the cause of UK wildlife from her Lincolnshire base with weekly reports on local radio and now a national station: Boom Radio on Sunday mornings. We discuss the changes, the challenges different wildlife face and the things we can do as gardeners. Because it's a general conversation between Mary, John and myself, there are no chapters this week, it's one just to set aside half an hour for a, hopefully, informative piece on this topical issue.
As ever, your feedback on our podcasts is welcome...

With Gardening Royalty at Belvoir Castle
It's a Summer treat for our members as John and I meet up with two stalwarts of the Horticultural world: Rob Hardy from Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants and renowned garden designer (and LYG member) Professor David Stevens. Recorded just as the July heatwave was setting the mercury rising at the Belvoir Castle Flower and Garden Show, it was a chance to pick up some top tips from the best.
