All about ponds

This week we're joined by Kate Sheard, Community Wildlife Manager in Buckinghamshire, and we're talking all things ponds. Find out why adding a garden pond is one of the best things you can do for wildlife at home, how to add a pond no matter the size of your garden, perfect plants for ponds, and the ferocious predators that could be lurking at the bottom of the water!

Say no to the mow!

This week we're joined by Katie Horgan, Rough Around the Edges project officer, and we're looking at the importance of wild flowers, from flower-filled road verges to wilder patches in your own gardens. So, put the lawn mower away, sit back and find out why protecting our local wildlife is just as important as conserving elephants and tigers.

The return of the swifts

This week it's all about birds, from the joyful sound of screaming swifts returning, to the beautiful dawn chorus and how to help your garden birds (plus escaping meal worms!). Join Andy, Ed and Liz as they chat about one of their favourite subjects.

Introduction to wildlife gardening

This week we're joined by Liz, Andy and Ed in their homes around Oxfordshire. Find out what they do for BBOWT, where their love of wildlife came from, what they've seen on their patch this week, and what does wildlife-gardening actually mean.
