In the latest episode of the #wildflowerhour podcast, Isabel Hardman finds out about our most important network of nature reserves: roadside verges.
Mark Schofield works for the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and waxes lyrical about the importance of these scraps of land in saving wild flowers. We also learn about the Brassicaceae, or cabbage, family, which is the topic of this week’s challenge, with some tips from expert botanist Tim Rich. You can buy his handbook on identifying this plant family here.
And it’s time for our monthly wild flower reading by Zoe Devlin from her latest book, Blooming Marvellous: A Wild Flower Hunter’s Year.
