grow, cook, eat, arrange with Sarah Raven & friends

If you're looking to support wild birds in your garden, the RSPB’s upcoming Big Garden Birdwatch is an essential event for us all.
Adam Nicolson and Emma Marsh, Executive Director of the RSPB, join Sarah in this week’s bird-focused episode of ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ to discuss how to get involved in this weekend’s annual bird count, how it came to be, and the many ways that gardeners can actively support and encourage more wild birds in our gardens and green spaces.
In this episode, discover:

• The role that gardens and gardeners play in restoring a bustling wild bird population.
• What we all can do to provide natural sustenance, shelter and safety for birds with our choice of planting.
• How the Big Garden Birdwatch came to be, and how you can get involved this coming weekend.
