Hi all!It’s been nearly a year now since the last episode of The Wildlife Garden Podcast. We’ve had a lot to deal with in our personal lives so it has had to take a back seat. Ellie and I (Ben) are no longer working together, but Ellie is still going strong with her business, Ellies Wellies Organic Gardening.Although we’ve headed our separate ways, we’ve decided that we really want to keep the podcast going. You’ll have a little longer to wait, but we will return this summer for a new series! If there are any topics you want us to cover, let us know. You can always contact us via the comments on Substack or email us at hello@wildlifegardenpod.com.Over the next few months I will be walking around 1,400 miles from the tip of Scotland at John O’Groats, right down to the furthest reaches of Cornwall at Lands End. Wish me luck with the weather and I hope to make some interesting botanical sightings along the way.Ellie is having an adventure of her own. As a Francophile, two weeks wildlife spotting around the French countryside can’t get much better, that’s if she finds time amongst drinking wine and eating cheese! She is particularly looking forward to her stay at Le Moulin De Pensol in the Limousin area near Limoges. With 8 hectares of rewilded land, they have an amazing array of wildlife. They are listeners to the podcast too, so get a big thumbs up from us 👍. If you’re interested in staying there yourself, you can find out more here Rural Holiday Accommodation In France - Le Moulin De Pensol.While we have been away, other wildlife gardeners have been busy. Huge congratulations to our friends at The Wildlife Garden Project who have just launched the amazing Wildlife Garden Directory. The directory is a simple website where people looking for a wildlife friendly gardener can put in their postcode and find like minded professional gardeners near to them. If you are looking for a gardener, or you’re a gardener yourself and want to be listed on the directory, follow this link for more information Find a Wildlife Gardener - Wildlife Garden Directory.We are both looking forward to getting back behind the mics this summer. Until then, we hope you have a fabulous spring and enjoy the sunny months to come.Ben and Ellie This is a public episode.
