Gardening for Food & Biodiversity - In Conversation with Daniel Deniaud-Powell

I was delighted to be joined by Daniel Deniaud-Powell for a conversation about the wonderful potential of our gardens for supporting both biodiversity and food production, and exploring the practical steps we might take to bring such enrichment into our own green spaces and lives.

Daniel's passion and connection to nature is clear, and he has a wide range of experience producing food, designing gardens and food forests and running unique enterprises; such an edible flower farm, to make small scale growing profitable.

We touch on all of this alongside gleaning some very practical guidance for anyone considering creating an edible, biodiversity garden.

Daniel co-owns and runs 'Des Heures Dehors' with his wife Hélène.
