Join me Thomas as I develop and grow my garden not just for aesthetic purposes but as a haven for wildlife too. My two big loves are gardening and wildlife so this podcast is a place where I intertwine them both. Gardens are extremely important mini nature reserves, and as modern life seems to become increasingly stressful and removed from the natural world, we must rediscover the power of immersing ourselves in the life that surrounds our homes. Which has positive impacts on both our mental and physical health.
Wildlife ponds are true havens for all sorts of life and you will come to rely on it to as an oasis of life, drama and beauty. I outline all the steps to make a wildlife pond whatever the space you have. Also learn how your humble pond can mitigate against climate change!
