Listen now (71 min) | This month we are thrilled to interview Dr Abigail Lowe, Community Science Officer at the Natural History Museum and an expert on plants and their pollinators. We also have a brief clip from the British Trust for Ornithology and a wildlife gardening correspondent too! If that’s not enough, we then look at a spring delight, the charming Windflower or Anemone nemorosa.
Thanks for the heads up about the red dead-nettle - LOADS of it everywhere this year and it is covered in invertebrates. I would love to know what made it so happy as I was desperately trying to find any last year to add to the garden. So we are moving some from the drive to the wildlife areas in hopes it finds a safer permanent home there.
Wow guys, this is a meaty (or should that be mighty) episode, full of info and new words! I particularly enjoyed the image of Dr Abigail giving her hairy bee subjects a wash and blow dry :-) I'm very touched that you played my song at the end, thank you. Keep up the great work, Tess x
