About this episode
🐛 This week we're working with wildlife! Welcome to Tales From The Potting Bench, a planty podcast where you’ll hear all manner of stories from knowledgeable, passionate and invaluable people who love plants as much as you and I. We’re here at the monumental 7th season of the podcast and thanks to you, the listeners, we’re back with even more guests and this season promises to be even bigger, even better and with even more planty goodness! This season I'm focussing on those people who really know what they're talking about in a series of episodes I'm calling ' Experts In Their Field '. Along with a brand-new season, is a brand-new sponsor, and I’m thrilled to share that I’m joined for season 7 by the powerhouse of the plant world, Westland Horticulture . Westland are dedicated to empowering everyone with the skills, knowledge, and tools to help every gardener give it their best, season after season. Great gardening starts with great compost, and Westland has a trusted range of composts for your every gardening need, from giving your baskets and containers the best start in life filling your vegetable patch with nutrients ahead of a bountiful season. We spend our time, as gardeners, beautifying our green spaces, adding flowers and plants to create a haven for us and our families. But what about the wildlife around us too? How can we encourage more of it to make our gardens their homes also? My guest this week knows all about that very topic and thankfully we’ve got lots of tips to share with you. Kate Bradbury is a wildlife expert and in fact, she’s also the wildlife editor of Gardener’s World magazine too so you’ll be glad to know we’re in safe hands! Kate has written numerous books on gardening for wildlife including her latest, One Garden Against The World, which we delve into deeper, here. Enjoy!
