BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Podcast

Host Arit Anderson, garden designer and BBC Gardeners’ World programme presenter, is insatiably curious about exploring ways to garden to protect and preserve our environment. Spending time gardening or enjoying others’ gardens opens our eyes to the environment around us and the realities of climate change. But can individuals make a difference by gardening more sustainably, when the problems (and solutions) seem so huge? In this second series, Arit delves deeper into key subjects including rewilding, peat-free gardening, making your own compost, and the surprising rich range of habitats created by poor soils, ex-industrial areas, and derelict buildings. She also speaks to experts challenging claims that some areas of horticulture (e.g., lawns and cut flowers) can never be environmentally sound. You can have green swards and wedding bouquets, they argue, that do not cost the earth. Full of surprising stories and practical tips, this series will inspire everyone to grow greener.
