    4: Go Wild: Planting Wildflowers to Encourage Biodiversity with Ash Pearson
    2024/08/07
    We meet the National Trust's Ash Pearson on a field overlooking the cove of Cape Cornwall. We have come here to see how the collaboration with Nick Hall and his Wildflower Project are being used. We move from the residential application as we learned in the episode with Nick and see it applied on a grand scale, in this case along the South West Coast Path. Ash takes us through a tired and overgrown paddock along the trail to show us how the "plugs" Nick supplies along with other applications the National Trust are using are revitalising the area and attracting and feeding an increasing amount and variety of insects and butterflies.

    Ash reflects on the unique relationship and networks that can be formed between grassroots businesses and larger organisations to solve very local needs and challenges - The Wildflower Project being a case in point. Like Nick, they both share in caretaking of the land in such a manner that providing the best quality nutrition in the native plants they choose provide the number and variety in order support the local biodiversity.

    3: Go Wild: Planting Wildflowers to Encourage Biodiversity with Nick Hall
    2024/08/07
    We're hanging out at Bosavern Community Farm with Nick Hall where we are learning about his Wildflower Project.

    We tour the polytunnel and growing area where he and his team grow a variety of quality plants which have the purpose of not only looking wonderful but maximise attracting a variety insects, invertebrates and wildlife into one's garden patch. We learn to be on the lookout for seeds and/or plants which provide quality nectar to offer the best nutrition to your garden visitors.

    Nick's Wildflower Project and The National Trust work together to provide specialist plants which the National Trust uses to help in restoring meadows around West Cornwall. Nick speaks about the collaboration and how building and making a wildflower garden no matter the size of one's patch is vital to our future survival.

  • The Scythe: Cutting Beautifully into Biodiversity

    The Scythe: Cutting Beautifully into Biodiversity
    2024/06/05
    Tom Waters of Scythe Kernow picked up the scythe professionally in 2020. From there he started a journey into traditional skills. Scything seems counter productive at first, many think it must be archaic and outdated, but this is not the case. Tom believes that it is more efficient than a strimmer (weed wacker) or lawnmower for dealing with long grass and if you want to allow for more diversity then longer grass, sedge and wildflower is what you will be dealing with.

    Tom also is out to disprove a common misconception - that to scythe requires a great deal of strength. Through his training he has seen individuals prove his point - anyone can scythe effectively, it’s all about technique.

    Join us for this episode as we go out into a Cornish field with Tom and watch and record him practice this skill coming back into fashion. Besides the immediate efficiency of the tool, we observe and discuss the more straight-forward, practical reasons to switch to the scythe such as

    • no fossil fuels

    • no unpleasant noise

    • it’s a pleasing, ergonomic motion that’s easy on the body, when you get it right

    • it’s great exercise

    • one is much more in tune and rhythm with the world around

    • one inherently learns more about the immediate environment and feels in alignment to the surroundings
