The Wildlife Gardener

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.
