Join us for our summer episode of the Unfamiliar Wildflowers podcast – Ultra Violet where we’ve teamed up with the Meadow Makers Forum. We are discovering how woodlands can be a wonderful riot of wildflowers and how these shady species are essential for threatened butterflies.
You’ve heard of woodlands, and of meadows and maybe wood pasture, but have you heard of wood meadows!? We’re joined by guest presenter Tony Whitehead from the RSPB who is finding out more about wood meadows with woodland and wildflower expert George Pekerten.
as always, we’ll be hearing from the late Professor F. E Hulme who will be sharing his insights into a fragrant and flavourful wildflower.
Welcome to our podcast, we are a group of enthusiastic but amateur podcasters so please be patient with us as we learn on the job!
Unfamiliar Wildflowers is written, presented and produced by Dr Grace Twiston-Davies. This podcast is inspired by the series of books by F. E. Hulme, Familiar Wild Flowers which was published over a century ago. Dr Twiston-Davies uses original antique copies of these books from her personal botany library to get a glimpse into a time when wildflowers were more familiar. in this episode, Tony Whitehead joins us as our special guest host.
