Podcast - Growing Wild

Charlotte Petts presents a thought-provoking show about nature in both the countryside and urban spaces.  She talks to a wide range of gardeners, designers and environmentalists covering everything from healthy soil and the importance of hedges, to foraging, allotments and community gardens.  She also interviews outdoorsy types including a shepherdess and heads off with a wild camper and Sam Lee who organises night-time woodland walks listening to nightingales.

Charlotte’s softly spoken voice and manner makes for soothing listening.  She also plays a huge range of great music from Ella Fitzgerald to Van Morrison between interviews.
