As the garden starts to wind down for winter, it’s tempting to cut everything back, rake up every leaf and give the whole place a thorough tidy — but wildlife might prefer you didn’t!

In this episode of the Growing Up Podcast, Andy and Kate explore simple ways to make your garden more wildlife-friendly this autumn. From leaving seed heads and fallen leaves to creating log piles, helping hedgehogs, planting spring bulbs and providing food, water and shelter for birds and insects, we look at how a slightly less tidy garden can become a haven for wildlife.

Plus, we discover why ivy deserves better PR, why your neglected corner can officially be called a “biodiversity zone”, and why sometimes the best thing you can do for your garden is… absolutely nothing.

Gardening Advice You Should Probably Ignore

Monday, September 28, 2026 • Duration 35:44

Think you need green fingers to be a good gardener? That watering leaves in sunshine will scorch them? Or that gravel in the bottom of pots improves drainage?

In this episode of The Growing Up Podcast, Andy and Kate tackle some of the biggest gardening myths that simply refuse to die. From companion planting and coffee grounds to slugs, fertiliser, watering, no-dig gardening and growing vegetables in shade, we separate useful gardening advice from traditions and old wives’ tales that might not be quite as reliable as we've been led to believe.

We also explore why losing plants doesn't make you a bad gardener, why a slightly messy garden can actually be a good thing, and why there really isn't one “correct” way to garden.

Whether you're a complete beginner or you've been gardening for decades, this episode might make you question a few things you've always taken for granted — and hopefully make gardening feel simpler in the process.
