Summary

Chris Packham joins the podcast to talk about rewilding, biodiversity and the power of noticing what’s right in front of us. From the wildlife that first captured his imagination to the value of focusing on just one square metre, he shares how small, thoughtful actions can help gardeners create richer habitats at home. Touching on the magazine's Make a Metre Matter campaign, managing garden spaces for wildlife and the joy of paying closer attention, this inspiring conversation confirms how every garden, however small, can play a part in supporting nature.
