Send us a text

We’re getting herby and we’re off to the west side of Northumberland …
Tom Pattinson’s here to tell us all about herbs and the famous herbalists of yore, including the great Morpethian and Northumbrian chap, William Turner.

We’re down in the garden of the magical Cresswell Pele Tower restoration with Steve Lowe from the Northumberland Rivers Trust…

And, Tom Cadwallender from the British Trust for Ornithology is reflecting on bird surveys and the beautiful space that is Kielder Wildwood.

Plus some top tips for the garden from Tom P… and a warning on the F-word: F.R.O.S.T!
