This week, it's Lughnasadh - the harvest high point of summer. Join me in the garden as we celebrate nature gardening once again.

From the back garden, this is Biophilic - a feel-goodseasonal celebration of one healing year in a Scottish perennial nature garden.More than a gardening podcast, Biophilic meanders through the garden in a loving and gently holistic approach to sustainable wellness. Each episode winds its way around imperfect small tasks for right now and grander plans for the future, offering encouragement to spend a little time outside each day.

So tap follow and join me, Angela Wallace, as we journeyinto the world of Biophilic.

Hit follow and I'll be back with another episode soon.
