Wood is wonderful in the garden, and can be both beautiful and useful to create fencing, arches and posts in such a way that cares for the environment around us.

If you’re still using the likes of imported bamboo in your space and need inspiration for alternatives, Adam Nicolson joins Sarah once again on the podcast to share how locally grown, coppiced wood can be so fantastic for you and for the world.

In this episode, discover:

The near-zero environmental cost of using the wonderfully pliable birch
Which trees are the most useful for absorbing more carbon, and how to best treat them
A fascinating history of why chestnut is so prevalent in this part of the world
How to coppice wood, and the true impact of coppicing on carbon absorption from our trees
