It’s time to tiptoe through the tulips and yes, we’re mad about them but not quite the way that people were in the seventeenth century… Tom’s looking back at ‘tulipmania' and has some tips on how to grow terrific tulips.

We’re down by the river Coquet with Steve Lowe from the Northumberland Rivers Trust.

And Tom Cadwallender from the British Trust for Ornithology is looking into the professor of the river banks and seashore… the grey heron.

Plus some top tips for the garden from Tom P…

All coming up on Nature Garden Podcast….
Theme music, Princess of the Ocean, featuring Steve Deegan, Jamie Robb and Carl Cape.
