A gardener looks after their patch and enjoys the beauty, feeling of well-being and sometimes the produce it delivers. It is easy to forget that the patch is being shared by a whole host of other living organisms too and is, by definition, an ecosystem or collection of ecosystems in itself. In this Talk, Lucy explores garden friendly wildflowers, much of the less visible life in the garden, how it interacts and the way a gardener can nurture their patch to support or drive this biodiversity through the way they garden and the choices they make.
