Growing Greener - Rewilding, with Knepp
Rewilding has become one of the hottest topics in the gardening world. Rewilding approaches are appearing at flower shows, on TV gardening programmes, and in the pages of magazines. But can we use the approaches of large-scale rewilding to make our domestic gardens more sustainable? Can the success that has transformed the wildlife and biodiversity in huge estates, also work in an urban window box? The garden team from Knepp: Charlie Harpur, Moy Fierheller and Suzi Turner think they can. They join Arit to discuss the inspirational rewilding project at Knepp, and how these techniques can transform a domestic plot.

Sustainable garden design
What are the key elements of a sustainable garden? Can any landscaping materials really be considered sustainable and what essentials help to make a small space sustainable? Today’s guest explores how we can all move towards designing and building sustainably and how to adapt your existing garden with sustainability - and the planet - in mind.
She believes that thoughtful design creates kindness – to our surroundings, to the wildlife we share our gardens with, and to each other.
In this episode, she shares with Arit her belief that we must listen to the land on which we garden – however small that space. Taking time to sit, look around and listen – is there life in the soil, birdsong in the air? And she offers a practical approach to this that everyone can try.
She also shares ways to ensure the materials and plants you select for your garden are the kindest for the planet. But above all, she says, your choices must start with the biggest question of all: how do you want to live?
