A podcast about wilding the places we live,: one verge, garden and crack in the pavement at a time.

Hosted by Alena and Roisin, Your Wild Streets is a new podcast from UK Youth for Nature exploring how we can bring nature back into our everyday spaces and why it matters now more than ever. From gardens to councils, backyards to policy change, each episode weaves together seasonal reflections, guest interviews and action to inspire a wilder, more biodiverse world.

Whether you’re planting wildflowers on your windowsill or pushing your council to ban pesticides, Your Wild Streets offers a space to reclaim connection, beauty and belonging in the places we live.

This podcast supports the Your Wild Streets campaign, calling for a national ban on pesticides in urban areas and a shift toward pesticide-free councils across the UK.

New monthly episodes launching in June.

Welcome to Your Wild Streets

Season 1 · Episode 1

Thursday, June 26, 2025 • Duration 23:49

In this first episode of Your Wild Streets, we’re setting the scene from glyphosate-sprayed verges to messy, life-filled corners of our gardens. Hosts Alena and Roisin share their own journeys into campaigning, swap garden fails and introduce the growing movement calling for pesticide-free, biodiversity-rich public spaces across the UK.

In this episode:

A round-up of recent nature news: the good, the grim and the growing movement for wildness.
A seasonal reflection inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer’s vision of cyclical, reciprocal living.
Small actions you can take this month: from letting a corner go wild to creating a micro habit audit.

Wilder Ways to Garden with Mary Reynolds

Season 1 · Episode 1

Friday, August 29, 2025 • Duration 58:16

In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Mary Reynolds - former Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winner turned rewilding activist and founder of the We Are The ARK movement. Mary shares her powerful journey from designing pristine gardens to championing wild, messy, life-filled outdoor spaces and challenges us to stop seeing ourselves as gardeners and start seeing ourselves as guardians.

Before diving in, we kick off with a quick news round-up: the latest on the voting age change in England, PAN UK’s new pesticide report, plus updates from our campaigns in Wales and our upcoming Urban Nature Day in Newcastle upon Tyne this September.

In our chat with Mary, we explore:

How she went from garden designer to full-time rewilding activist
The story behind We Are The ARK and its nine practical steps for restoring life
Why tidy gardens are bad news for biodiversity
Ireland’s nature crisis and what it tells us about land use everywhere
Myths we need to let go of about ownership, control and connecting with nature
The crucial role of native plants in keeping ecosystems alive
How building an ARK can turn everyday people into activists
Mary’s own six-acre ARK in Ireland and the love she’s built with her land
Why humans must act as guardians if we’re to prevent further ecological collapse
Her advice for young activists on staying resilient and leading with love

The Politics of the Pavement (part one) with Jack Wallington

Season 1 · Episode 2

Friday, October 17, 2025 • Duration 39:38

Politics of the Pavement (Part 1) with Jack Wallington

In this first half of our Politics of the Pavement two-parter, we prise up the paving slabs and look at how our streets and gardens became so obsessively neat and what we’ve lost along the way. From Victorian ideals of respectability to the post-war pesticide boom, this episode traces how control and order were built into our landscapes. We explore why weeds are still seen as shameful, the lasting cultural power of “tidy,” and how chemical dependency became normalised in public and private spaces.

Later in the episode, we’re joined by writer, organic grower, and garden designer Jack Wallington, who reflects on his journey from Chelsea Flower Show gardens to wilder, chemical-free growing. Together, we explore what it means to rewrite the story of gardens.

Soil, Soul and Society with Satish Kumar

Season 1 · Episode 3

Monday, December 22, 2025 • Duration 39:05

As we cross the threshold of the winter solstice, Alena is joined by Satish Kumar - former Jain monk, peace pilgrim, and one of the UK’s most influential ecological thinkers - for a deeply grounding conversation about how we live, what we value and how we care for the world around us.

From walking 8,000 miles for peace without money, to his guiding philosophy of soil, soul and society, Satish reflects on non-violence, reverence for life and the quiet power of grassroots action. In a time of environmental grief and political inertia, this episode invites us to reconnect with trust and courage, and to remember that meaningful change begins exactly where we are.
