  • Urban Gardening, Trees, Flowers and People Restoration
    Oct 16 2024

    Urban Gardening / Scouse Flower House / Postcode Gardener / Liverpool

    Tree Amble was invited to attend a conference hosted by the Chartered Institute of Ecological and Environmental Management in Liverpool in 2024. The idea behind the conference was to ask questions about how we engage people and landscape to restore both elements - how do we connect people with their environment and how do we restore biodiversity in tandem. This episode is full of urban voices with experience thrown in from gardeners, foresters and ecologists. We also take a tour around Liverpool looking at the amazing wildflower sites which Scouse Flower House have promoted.
