Episode Description from the Publisher

Can an allotment become a blueprint for the garden of the future? Ecologist Nadine Mitschunas has transformed a once-overgrown plot into a beautiful, productive and wildlife-rich haven, and it's now been crowned our Gardens of the Year 10-Year Anniversary Best of the Best. Nadine reveals how naturalistic planting, perennial flowers, native plants and wildlife ponds have created a thriving ecosystem where nature does much of the work. She also shares how she's adapting to our changing climate with more trees, shade, dense planting and mulching, plus simple ideas every gardener can use to welcome more wildlife and build a more resilient garden.
