Our gardens, humble as they may seem, are among the country’s most important havens for biodiversity, and there are few greater champions for biodiversity than Dr Steve Head.

Steve joins Sarah on this podcast episode alongside Adam Nicolson to share how the intermediate level of disturbance that we naturally give our gardens makes them so wonderful for wildlife.

In this episode, discover:

How Sarah met Steve, and the revelations that he continues to provide her about wildlife at Perch Hill and beyond
The various reasons that gardens are so good for cultivating biodiversity
What you’re doing for biodiversity when you dig up your ground, and how to know that you’re digging too much or too little
The inspiration that Steve derives from a long time heroine of his, Jennifer Owen
Why we should all care about insects, pollinators, and our impact on biodiversity
